Mon Health Medical Center Physician Performs 100th Urologic Single Port Procedure

Posted Date: 9/18/2024
100th birthday party
Mon Health Medical Center is pleased to announce that Dr. Jaschar Shakuri-Rad, Urologist, Medical Director of Robotic Surgery, Medical Director of Medical Specialties, and Master Robotic Surgeon, performed his 100th urologic single port procedure using the da Vinci Single Port (SP) system by Intuitive.

In May 2023, Dr. Shakuri-Rad performed the first urologic single port procedure in West Virginia using the da Vinci SP system. The da Vinci SP gives surgeons the ability to deliver robotic-assisted surgery through a single port. This single port surgery allows for fewer incisions to reduce the impact on patient outcomes. The system’s unique patient cart design, instruments optimized for single port surgery, and advanced vision can help empower surgeons to perform procedures with a range of complexity.

“We are thrilled to celebrate the completion of our 100th single port robotic surgery, a significant milestone in our pursuit of delivering the most advanced care to our patients,” said Dr. Shakuri-Rad. “At Mon Health, we utilize a wide array of advanced surgical technologies tailored to meet each patient’s unique needs. While being at the forefront of medical technology is critical, it’s the skilled hands guiding the robot that make all the difference. Our team at Mon Health is among the best, and we remain dedicated to providing unparalleled care and expertise to every patient we serve.”

Mon Health Medical Center was recently reaccredited by the Surgical Review Corporation (SRC) as a Center of Excellence in Robotic Surgery. Additionally, Additionally, Dr. Byron Dodson, Dr. Mark Johnson, Dr. Jaschar Shakuri-Rad, and Dr. Kristen Statler have been reaccredited by the SRC as Surgeons of Excellence in Robotic Surgery.
