No matter the surgical procedure,
physicians make it their priority to perform
it with minimal incisions and en pointe
precision. The benefits abound: less pain,
less scarring, less risk of complications —
shall we go on?
But since the advent of the robotic
da Vinci® Surgical System, now available on
each of Methodist Health System’s hospital
campuses, terms like “minimally invasive”
and “precision” have taken on a whole new
meaning. Surgery is no longer a craft. It
has been elevated to an art, where some
robot-assisted procedures require only one
3-centimeter incision and surgeons have
magnified 3-D views inside the body. Their
accuracy and precision are unsurpassed
when aided with this technology.
Without further ado,
meet da Vinci.
