HSC since September 2024. Patients treated with the robot typically experience less pain and better surgical outcomes. Most patients go home the day after surgery; some even go home the same day.

“For a variety of health reasons, about one in four of my patients are not candidates for traditional minimally invasive surgery. Some might be eligible for major open surgery; for others, there has been no surgical option at all. That changed with the acquisition of a donor-funded surgical robot. With the robot, these patients are getting the surgical care they need and going home with minimal pain, sometimes just hours after surgery. For these patients, robotic surgery is a gamechanger. And it’s only been possible because of
HSC Foundation donors. Your gifts are changing what we can do for our patients. Your gifts are saving lives. I am inspired by – and grateful for – what donors make possible.”

– Dr. Alon Altman, Gynecologic Oncologist, Health Sciences Centre Winnipeg

Robot-assisted surgery improves patient outcomes and hospital performance, helping patients recover and go home sooner, which frees up beds, improves patient flow, and eases pressure on the Emergency Department. With your support of the HSC Foundation’s Operation Excellence campaign surgeons at HSC can have access to leading-edge technology so they can do their best work for Manitobans. Help us make our next investments in surgical excellence. Please donate today.
