Expertise in Robot-assisted Surgery
Saint Joseph East and Saint Joseph Hospital are the first and only hospitals in Lexington to be accredited as Center of Excellence in Robotic Surgery by the Surgical Review Corporation (SRC), a nonprofit, patient safety organization that develops and administers best-in-class accreditation programs for medical professionals and facilities around the world. We are the first multi-specialty/multi-campus facility in Kentucky with this certification.
What surgeries are performed robotically?
Robotically performed specialties include:
da Vinci Robotic Surgery Technology
Saint Joseph Hospital and Saint Joseph East are home to the most advanced instrumentation in minimally invasive surgery, the da Vinci Xi Robot. This robot allows our surgeons to perform the most complex and delicate procedures through very small incisions with unmatched precision.
Robotic Surgery Care Team
The robotics program comes equipped with a care team that delivers the safest and highest quality of care for minimally invasive surgery patients. Our robotic surgery nurse navigator Deborah Rouser and nursing leader Amanda Anderson work hand-in-surgical glove with referring providers to ensure our patients receive the best medical care. From our pre-operative preparation protocols to our Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) program and preparing patients for the postoperative phase, our care team delivers – and it’s proven with our Center of Excellence accreditation.

Surgical Review Corporation (SRC) Certification Process
The CHI Saint Joseph Health robotic surgery team are certified in robotic surgery for multiple specialities, including bariatrics, colorectal surgery, general surgery, gynecological surgery and urologic surgery. The process for certification requires the participating surgeons to have substantial volume (experience) in their area of specialty and quality performance, as demonstrated by a rigorous review of outcomes of the patients who received care at Saint Joseph Hospital, Saint Joseph East and the participating surgeons. This includes patient interaction throughout the continuum of care, from the pre-admission testing to post-procedure hospital care.
What this means to the patient is the opportunity to choose highly experienced surgeons with proven quality outcomes. The robotic procedures allow for advancements in minimally invasive surgical procedures that likewise allow the patient to participate in their surgical and recovery process, with fewer opioids, more activity post operatively, experience less pain, and return to their normal active life sooner.
