FREEHOLD, NJ - APRIL 2, 2025 - CentraState Medical Center, part of Atlantic Health System, recently performed its 5,000th robotic-assisted surgery procedure using the da Vinci® Xi™ Surgical System, the advanced platform for minimally invasive surgery. Board-certified urologist Troy Sukkarieh, MD, performed the robotic prostate resection (prostatectomy) radical procedure marking the hospital's milestone. Additionally, Dr. Sukkarieh recently completed his 1,000th surgery using the technology.

The da Vinci robotic surgery technology was first introduced into CentraState's lineup of surgical capabilities in 2010. The robotic surgery system enables specially trained surgeons to offer an alternative to traditional open surgery for procedures considered too complex or delicate to treat using standard minimally invasive technology. The system offers surgeons the control, range of motion and visibility characteristic of open surgery. It simultaneously allows them to work through tiny incisions typical of minimally invasive surgery, providing patients the benefits of the minimally invasive approach such as reduced blood loss, pain and scarring, decreased risk of infection, fewer complications and faster recovery time.

The robotic system is used for general, bariatric, thoracic and urologic surgical procedures. For more information about robotic surgery at CentraState, visit our website.
