Lakewood Ranch Medical Center Introduces the da Vinci® Xi™ Surgical System Contact Name: Kristina Sparacino Contact Email: kristina.sparacino@lwrmc.com Contact Phone Number: 3524272108 Lakewood Ranch, Florida – November 21, 2019 – Lakewood Ranch Medical Center (LWRMC) is pleased to announce the recent acquisition of the da Vinci Xi Surgical System. The da Vinci Xi System was designed with the goal of further advancing the technology used in minimally invasive surgery. The System can be used across a spectrum of minimally invasive surgical procedures and has been optimized for multi-quadrant surgeries in the areas of gynecology, urology, thoracic, cardiac and general surgery. By enabling efficient access throughout the abdomen or chest, the da Vinci Xi System expands upon core da Vinci System features, including wristed instruments, 3D-HD visualization, intuitive motion, and an ergonomic design. As with all da Vinci Surgical Systems, the surgeon is 100% in control of the robot-assisted da Vinci System, which translates his/her hand movements into smaller, more precise movements of tiny instruments inside the patient’s body. The Xi System’s immersive 3D-HD vision system provides surgeons a highly magnified view, virtually extending their eyes and hands into the patient. Manatee Healthcare System Group Vice President and Manatee Memorial Hospital CEO, Kevin DiLallo, stated, “The da Vinci Xi Surgical System is a great addition to the surgery service line at Lakewood Ranch Medical Center – offering patients in Sarasota and Manatee counties more options for minimally invasive surgical options.” Chief Executive Officer of Lakewood Ranch Medical Center, Andy Guz, added, “The da Vinci Xi System is an expandable technology platform that is designed to accommodate and seamlessly integrate a range of current technologies, as well as future innovations, in areas such as imaging, advanced instruments and anatomical access. Lakewood Ranch Medical Center strives to provide the highest quality of care to our patients and we believe that the addition of the da Vinci Xi will provide more options for the community.” For more information on minimally invasive surgical options at LWRMC, visit https://www.lakewoodranchmedicalcenter.com/services/surgery ### About Lakewood Ranch Medical Center (lwrmc.com) Lakewood Ranch Medical Center is the hospital of choice for many families in the Manatee/Sarasota region.

Serious complications may occur in any surgery, including da Vinci® Surgery, up to and including death.

If your doctor needs to convert the surgery to another surgical technique, this could result in a longer operative time, additional time under anesthesia, additional or larger incisions and/or increased complications. Individual surgical results may vary. Patients who are not candidates for non-robotic minimally invasive surgery are also not candidates for da Vinci Surgery.
