Leonard Y. Lee, MD, Professor of Surgery at Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson Medical School and Chief, Division of Cardiothoracic Surgery at RWJUH, poses with the daVinci Xi robotic surgical system in an RWJUH operating room in New Brunswick.

The da Vinci Xi system is the latest in advanced robotic surgical technology. Earlier this year, Hackensack Meridian Health Raritan Bay Medical Center-Old Bridge added this cutting-edge technology to its surgical suite, opening the Center for Robotic Surgery under the direction of board-certified Dr. Frederick Sabido, general surgeon.

People visiting Raritan Bay’s robotic surgery event from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Nov. 18 at the Brunswick Square Mall, across from JCPenney, 755 Route 18, East Brunswick, will have an opportunity to see the da Vinci Xi in action during a demonstration with Dr. Sabido, have a chance to try out the robot, and test their own unaided “surgical” skills versus the da Vinci robot.

Raritan Bay is also holding a contest to name its robot. Submit an entry via www.rbmc.org/HelloMyNameIs. The winning entry will receive an Amazon Echo, powered by Alexa. The contest closes at 5 p.m. Nov. 30. One entry per person. Participants under the age of 18 must have parental consent. Additional terms may apply.
