Plattsburgh, NY – The largest hospital in the North Country has successfully completed computer-assisted robotic surgeries. The CVPH Medical Center in Plattsburgh has obtained a new robotic daVinci Surgical System for use in its new operating theatre. While the new system will be based in the new surgical wing that's currently under construction, physicians are using the technology and medical center officials showed off its new 1-point-6 million dollar system Wednesday morning. North Country Bureau Chief Pat Bradley was there.
