Art and Amy Simmons, Prostate Cancer and Hysterectomy patients
It didn't take much to convince Amy Simmons to allow her doctor to use the da Vinci® Robotic Surgical System to perform her hysterectomy — and one of the biggest reasons was that just a few months before, her husband, Art, had undergone a prostatectomy using the intricate surgical tool.
Art and Amy Simmons became perhaps the first husband and wife to undergo surgical procedures at Via Christi Hospital since da Vinci's surgical system became an option for patients.
Bill Molash, Prostate Cancer patient
