Minimally Invasive Heart and Lung Surgery

• ‘Minimally invasive’ procedures are better for patients of any age or gender.
• Lower rates of infection and blood transfusions and shorter hospital stay.
• No need to “crack the chest open” to repair or replace a heart valve.
• Dr. Mangonon is the only thoracic surgeon in Volusia County who offers patients ROBOTIC chest surgery. He uses the newest, most sophisticated system – The DaVinci XI System – at Advent Health Daytona Beach.
• Lung cancers can be easily removed using the DaVinci XI ROBOT using 4 or 5 small incisions made on the side of the chest.
