Advanced Technology That Works for You

Surgical care is changing fast, and Covenant Health is at the forefront of innovation.

Patients benefit from modern techniques that are designed to be less invasive. Advanced imaging helps surgeons plan with precision and updated surgical tools support safer procedures. Smaller incisions mean less pain and faster healing.

At LeConte, patients have access to:

Four state-of-the-art surgical suites with high-definition cameras and monitors

Built-in systems to support advanced laparoscopic procedures and soon to be robotic procedures

Two dedicated endoscopy suites

Energy-efficient LED lighting for a brighter, safer environment

22 private pre-surgery rooms where patients stay with their families, with flat-screen TVs and space for care conversations

LeConte is also preparing to offer the Da Vinci 5 (DV5) robotic surgical system. This is the latest generation of robotic-assisted technology and one of the most advanced surgical platforms available today. The DV5 provides surgeons with enhanced precision, improved visualization and greater control during complex procedures. This sophisticated technology can help support better surgical outcomes with shorter recovery times thanks to minimally invasive techniques.
