Robotic Surgery in Celina

If you need surgery, you deserve advanced options that are close to home. We’re proud to be the first program in the city offering robotic-assisted technology. That’s community and why so many people Trust Methodist.

Why Choose Methodist Celina for Robot-Assisted Surgery?

Robotic-assisted surgery uses technology, real-time imaging, and tiny instruments to help carry out procedures through small incisions. You have access to this surgical technique at Methodist Celina Medical Center.

Highlights of our program include:

Experienced team: Our team of general surgeons, nurses, and other OR staff regularly perform robotic surgery. They completed specialized training in robotic surgical technology, so you receive the qualified care you deserve.
da Vinci® Surgical System: This robot-assisted surgical platform provides clear, magnified views of treatment areas. It also enables on-staff surgeons to operate with greater control. For most patients, this approach offers potential advantages over traditional surgery, like faster recovery.
Trusted hospitalists: A hospitalist is a doctor who oversees care during a hospital stay. At Methodist Celina, the same on-staff hospitalist sees you before and after robotic surgery. You can breathe a little easier knowing there’s a familiar face on surgery day. They work closely with your surgeon to manage post-surgery care.
Coordination: General surgeons, hospitalists, and your referring provider on the medical staff stay connected through our electronic health record. It allows us to arrange tests and treatments and share updates.

How Does Robotic Surgery Work?

Robotic-assisted surgery pairs advanced technology with the skill of a general surgeon. The surgeon remains in control of the robot at all times.

Here’s how it works:

The surgeon sits at a console and uses hand and foot controls to guide robotic arms at your bedside.
A high-definition, 3D camera provides magnified, real-time views of the surgical area.
Technology translates the surgeon’s hand and foot movements into precise motions.
The motions guide robotic arms with tiny surgical instruments at the tip to carry out the procedure.

Benefits of Robotic-Assisted Surgery

Potential benefits of robotic surgery may include:

Smaller incisions, leading to less scarring and a lower risk of infection
Enhanced control, supporting accuracy during complex or delicate procedures
Gentler procedures, minimizing blood loss and reducing post-operative discomfort
Less time under anesthesia, helping lower certain complication risks
Faster recovery, allowing a quicker return to daily activities
Shorter hospital stays, providing the option for many patients to go home the same day

Robotic-assisted surgery is not appropriate for every patient or condition. Your surgeon will discuss the most effective treatment options based on your diagnosis, health history, and treatment goals.
