    Establishing Atlantic Canada’s first Robotic Surgical Program.

No longer a futuristic notion, robotics are rapidly evolving medicine and practice today.

The future of health care
Bringing robotics to the QEII.
Robotic innovation is transforming the delivery of health care around the world – and the QEII Foundation is on a mission to bring this technology to Atlantic Canadian patients and their families.

The unquestionable precision and accuracy of robot-assisted surgery is helping surgeons throughout Canada achieve superior outcomes.

IMPACT
Delivering the most advanced care for patients.
The presence of a state-of-the-art robotic surgical program at the QEII will provide the most advanced surgical care for Atlantic Canadian patients, here at home. Compared to open surgery, patients who undergo a robot-assisted surgery experience:
- shorter hospital stays; which, in turn, reduces patient wait times;
- less pain;
- fewer post-operative complications and less risk of infection;
- less blood loss and transfusions;
- reduced scarring;
- faster healing and recovery times; and
- quicker return to normal, day-to-day activities.
