Robotic-assisted Surgery at The Medical Center of Southeast Texas

Surgeons today have more tools at their fingertips than ever before.  Robotic-assisted surgery allows surgeons to perform procedures more precisely with multiple benefits for patients.
At the Medical Center of Southeast Texas, we are leading the way in robotic-assisted surgery.  Our surgeons use state-of-the-art systems designed to help perform more precise, less invasive procedures.

Compared to traditional surgery, minimally invasive techniques can offer numerous potential benefits for most patients.

The da Vinci ™ Surgical System

The da Vinci ™ Surgical System integrates robotic technology to virtually extend the surgeon’s eye and hands.  The system enables surgeons to perform complex and delicate procedures through very small incisions with unmatched precision.

The da Vinci ™ Surgical System delivers 3D high-definition views, giving surgeons a crystal-clear view of the surgical area that is magnified 10 times to what the human eye sees.

Patient benefits include:

• Faster recovery and shorter hospital stay
• Fewer stitches and less scarring
• Lower risk of complications and infections
• Less blood loss and the need for transfusions
• Quicker return to normal activities
