Methodist Surgical Specialists

The robotic technology offered in the operating rooms at our hospitals provides even more options when you need general surgical care. Robotic-assisted surgery helps give surgeons precise control during surgical procedures, uses smaller incisions, and speeds your recovery.

Some general surgery procedures we perform using robotic technology include:

• Appendectomy (appendix removal)
• Cholecystectomy (gallbladder removal)
• Hernia repair
• Colectomy

Inflammation in the appendix, known as appendicitis, often requires emergency surgical care. While appendectomy is a routine surgical procedure, we provide you with confidence through experienced surgical teams to care for you.

If you have ongoing symptoms related to a gallbladder condition, surgical removal of the gallbladder may help you find relief. Our hospitals offer gallbladder removal, called a cholecystectomy. This procedure can be performed laparoscopically, as well as using robotic technology that removes the gallbladder through a single, small incision.

If you’ve been diagnosed with a hernia, the general surgeons on the medical staff at our hospitals provide surgical options to repair the hernia and relieve discomfort. Many hernias, including inguinal and incisional hernias, can be treated using minimally invasive or robotic-assisted surgeries that reduce your recovery time.
