Minimally Invasive Surgery at AAMC

Anne Arundel Medical Center is the only hospital in Maryland (and one of only three in the Mid-Atlantic region) to offer minimally invasive robotic prostatectomy and thoracic surgery using the newest model da Vinci S system. The da Vinci S system combines robotic technology with our surgeons’ skill to simplify prostate cancer surgery and thoracic surgery procedures and make new types of minimally invasive surgery possible for our patients.Click here to read more.

At AAMC’s Center for Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS), patients benefit from surgical techniques involving smaller incisions and quicker recovery times. And innovative MIS procedures result in excellent outcomes.

MIS, which encompasses laparoscopic, endoscopic and robotic procedures, is the treatment of choice for many types of surgery. Our physicians specialize in less invasive surgical approaches and utilize a wide range of state-of-the-art technologies.

Minimally Invasive Surgery is one of the many ways AAMC provides specialized tertiary-level care, nearby and accessible in a convenient, personalized setting.

MIS in a Patient-Friendly Environment

MIS patients at AAMC benefit from a highly personalized care environment. For patients who are candidates for these procedures, we offer coordinated care from the time of first contact (through the telehealth line askAAMC or via physician referral) through treatment and after.

Our Nurse Navigators for various specialties are available to help make sure that the treatment process goes smooothly and that patients and their families feel comfortable and are kept informed. Excellent post-surgery and rehabilitative services are offered through programs such as the Spine Center and Joint Center.

Conveniences like free and valet parking, a campus shuttle, and private patient rooms in an open, welcoming campus setting make patients’ experiences with MIS as stress-free as possible—another reason AAMC consistently receives the highest scores in Patient Satisfaction surveys.
