This groundbreaking procedure offers a minimally invasive surgical option for those with select gastrointestinal malignancies, such as pancreatic cancer. This robotic approach is only performed at select centers in the nation due to the clinical complexity of a Whipple procedure. “My priority as a surgical oncologist is always the patient – to maximize the chance for a cure, to remove the cancer and prioritize their quality of life,” said Dr. Francisco Macedo, surgical oncologist at North Florida Hospital. “Being able to perform this complex procedure robotically means a shorter hospital stay for the patient, less pain and quicker recovery time, all while maintaining a high-quality oncological outcome. This is truly allowing us to provide healthier tomorrows for our community.” As one of the state's largest healthcare networks, HCA Florida Healthcare provides accessible care, advanced treatments, and dedicated specialists to patients wherever and whenever needed.
