May 7th 2023 marks the one-year anniversary of the first robotic-assisted surgery in the Cayman Islands, performed by OceanMed’s consultant physician Dr. David Stone, through a partnership with Health City Cayman Islands. Since then, Dr. Stone, OB/GYN and Head of Urogynecology at OceanMed, has worked to raise awareness of robotic surgical procedures on-island and its exceptional results.
OceanMed prides itself in being a pioneer in their field, bringing cutting-edge advancements to the community and revolutionizing healthcare in the Cayman Islands. Using the da Vinci X surgical system by Intuitive, Dr. Stone states, “This is simply the world’s most advanced technology in laparoscopic surgery, available right here in the Cayman Islands”.
The da Vinci robotic-assisted laparoscopic platform brings enhanced visual acuity with precision and dexterity to advanced and complex gynecologic surgeries, performed through incisions less than 1cm in diameter. Resulting in improved recovery times, less scaring and less pain.
With over fifteen years’ experience in robotic surgery, Dr. Stone is an internationally recognized thought-leader in the field. He has performed hundreds of procedures using the system and has also served as a proctor for Intuitive to train other physicians in its use.
Not just pioneers in robotic-assisted surgery, OceanMed offers unrivalled state-of-the-art health care to women, being the first and only clinic to provide contrast enhanced mammography, prone stereotactic biopsy, ultrasound, and mammography all under one roof, supported by a highly experienced in-house imaging team.
