Robotic Surgery

State of the ArtRobot Assisted Surgery

At Texas Advanced Surgical & Bariatrics, we utilize the cutting-edge da Vinci Surgical System, a leader in robotic-assisted surgery. This technology enhances the precision and control of our surgeons, offering patients the benefits of smaller incisions, quicker recovery times, and often, better outcomes. It’s essential to have an informed conversation with your surgeon about the best approach for your specific needs, including the advantages of robotic-assisted surgery.

How Does Robotic Assisted Surgery Work?

In robotic surgery, the surgeon operates from a console, where they control the robotic arms equipped with surgical instruments. The da Vinci system translates the surgeon’s hand movements into precise, scaled-down movements of the instruments inside the patient’s body. A high-definition 3D camera provides a magnified view of the surgical area, allowing the surgeon to see the procedure in great detail. Despite the use of the robot, the surgeon remains in full control throughout the surgery.

Robot vs. Surgeon

Who Performs The Procedure?

The term “robotic surgery” can sometimes be misleading, as it might suggest that the surgical system operates independently. In reality, the system does not perform any actions on its own. It’s entirely guided by the expertise of the surgeon, who remains in full control throughout the procedure. The technology is designed to enhance the surgeon’s precision, acting as an extension of their hands, but it does not have any autonomous capabilities. This advanced tool simply allows for more accurate and minimally invasive surgery, with the surgeon making all the decisions and directing every movement.
