Baptist Health Brings Cutting-Edge 3D Navigation to Breast Cancer Surgery in Little Rock

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. – Experienced breast surgeons at Baptist Health Medical Center-Little Rock are now offering EnVisio® by Elucent, a revolutionary navigation technology that transforms breast cancer surgery. Featuring advanced In-Body Spatial Intelligence™ (iSi), the system is designed to deliver unmatched precision and patient-centered care during breast-conserving surgeries (Lumpectomy/Partial Mastectomy) and targeted lymph node dissection.

Drs. Camila Ortega and Jodie Clementson of Baptist Health Surgical Clinic of Central Arkansas are leading the implementation of this cutting-edge technology to provide patients in the region with optimal clinical and cosmetic results.

EnVisio is a state-of-the-art surgical guidance technology leveraging continuous, true 3D spatial awareness. By providing surgeons with unparalleled precision during target localization and tumor excision, the system integrates seamlessly into the operating room workflow. It offers a clearer view and greater control, allowing for the precise removal of cancerous tissue while maximizing the preservation of healthy tissue.

“We believe our patients deserve a better experience on their surgical day and, most importantly, high-quality breast cancer care with precise technologies aimed at accurately removing cancer,” Dr. Ortega said. 

Breast cancer remains one of the most prevalent cancers worldwide, with an estimated one in eight women diagnosed in their lifetime. In Arkansas, it's the most common cancer among women and the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths for women, according to the National Cancer Institute. 

This highlights the critical need for surgical innovations that enhance precision while supporting oncoplastic approaches—techniques that combine tumor removal with plastic surgery principles to preserve the breast's natural appearance.

"We are incredibly proud to offer this innovative technology to our patients at Baptist Health, giving women the tools and confidence they need to navigate these critical moments,"  said Dr. Ortega. 

This innovative solution is setting a new standard in breast cancer treatment in Central Arkansas, ensuring patients do not have to choose between effective cancer clearance and aesthetic preservation.
