Revolutionizing the Operating Room

It's New Brunswick's turn! Our operating rooms have been transformed, thanks to YOU. Donor generosity made the first-ever robotic-assisted surgery in New Brunswick possible.

Together, we're giving surgeons access to the latest technology for complex procedures - advancing patient care.

YOUR IMPACT

Your gifts to help bring robotic-assisted surgery to our hospital are already impacting patients and medical professionals at the Saint John Regional Hospital. The technology used to perform complex surgeries has better patient outcomes and patient satisfaction. It’s correlated with shorter hospital stays and less risk of complication. Patients as a whole recover faster, with less pain and fewer drugs.

I was diagnosed with prostate cancer and was given a choice. I chose robotic-assisted surgery, and it was amazing. I spent one night in the hospital, and the next morning I came home. Thank you to all the donors who brought robotic surgery to New Brunswick. It’s something that will help a lot of people. I’m the first one here who had it done, and I feel fantastic. - Emile Hachey, the province’s first robotic-assisted surgery patient
