Advanced Robotic Surgery Offered at Dignity Health

(Chandler, Ariz. - Sept. 18, 2026) - Dignity Health Chandler Regional and Mercy Gilbert Medical Centers now offer robotic-assisted surgery, marking a milestone in Dignity Health East Valley's commitment to delivering surgical care to patients in the community.

The surgical system is designed to help surgeons perform complex, minimally invasive procedures with advanced precision, control and visualization. The robot incorporates advanced technology that provides surgeons with more detailed information during surgery such as how much force they're applying to tissue and a clearer view of the surgical area. Compared to traditional open surgery, these minimally invasive robotic-assisted procedures can help offer benefits for patients including less pain and faster recovery times.

"Innovation is one of the ways we continue to elevate the care we provide to our community," said Mario Garner, President of Dignity Health East Valley. "Our patients deserve access to leading-edge treatment options close to home, and this technology helps our surgeons perform advanced procedures while supporting the best possible experience for those we serve."

Dignity Health East Valley's commitment to advancing surgical care also extends to educating the next generation of surgeons. The new surgical system will serve as a vital training tool for residents in the Creighton University East Valley Arizona's graduate medical education program, ensuring they gain experience using some of the most modern equipment available alongside high-quality surgeons.
