Surgical Robot Provides Greater Accuracy, Patient Benefits Physicians at Texas Health Harris Methodist Hospital Southwest Fort Worth perform prostatectomies and hysterectomies using the da Vinci® Surgical System, a new advanced, less invasive alternative to traditional surgery.
The da Vinci system is a surgical robot that is controlled by surgeons seated at a console next to the patient's bedside. This new technology allows surgeons to treat complex surgical cases with controlled precision and accuracy. Tremor is eliminated; the right and left hand are ambidextrous; and the "hand" movements are extremely delicate.
For many patients, surgery performed using the da Vinci system has a number of benefits, including:
Smaller incisions
Less pain
A shorter hospital stay
Quicker recovery
Faster return to normal activities
A New Generation in Women's Gynecological Surgery The da Vinci system allows physicians to perform less invasive hysterectomies. Not a generic laparoscopic procedure, this alternative to traditional surgery allows gynecologists to perform hysterectomies through a 1- to 2-centimeter incision.
Dr. Steven Suba appeared on WFAA-TV's Good Morning Texas to discuss Texas Health Southwest's use of the da Vinci system for hysterectomies. Follow this link to see the video.
A New Alternative to Prostate Cancer Treatment The da Vinci system gives men a less invasive option for prostate cancer surgery. The da Vinci system provides a quicker recovery time and fewer side effects than traditional surgery.
