PHILADELPHIA (December 2, 2025)—Roxborough Memorial Hospital is proud to announce a significant milestone in its surgical department, having successfully completed 100 robotic surgeries using the state-of-the-art da Vinci Surgical System.

As a result, many patients at Roxborough Memorial Hospital can return to their daily lives and activities they enjoy more quickly than ever before.
Dr. Piotr Krecioch, a leading surgeon in the department, expressed enthusiasm about this achievement: “Reaching the milestone of 100 robotic surgeries is a testament to the dedication and expertise of our surgical team. The da Vinci system not only enhances our surgical capabilities but also significantly improves patient outcomes. We are committed to providing the highest quality care and ensuring our patients have the best possible experience during their surgical journey.”
