Some milestones come with age — others with the advent of technology. Northeast Georgia Medical Center recently celebrated a milestone with the help of new technology, when surgeons performed the hospital’s 2,000th procedure using the da Vinci Surgical System. The da Vinci Surgical System is an apparatus of robotic wristed instruments and a high-resolution 3-D camera which, under the control of a surgeon, can perform a variety of procedures surgeons previously did by hand.
