The takeaway
This year, the surgical team at Baylor Scott & White-Grapevine surpassed more than 10,000 procedures since 2008. Dr. Matin said robotic surgeries helped patients with recovery time and have had generally positive outcomes.
instruments and a high-resolution camera. “Some of the ways we use robotic surgery at Baylor Scott & White Medical Center- Grapevine include procedures that previously required more complex surgeries with longer recovery times,” he said. Some of these procedures include: • Orthopedic surgeries, which focus on joint replacements • Lung biopsies, in which robotics are used to take tissue samples from the lungs • Esophageal and other chest surgeries • Gynecology and urology • Colorectal surgeries, which focus on the colon area
At Baylor Scott & White Medical Center- Grapevine, advanced robotic surgery is transforming the way some surgeries are being performed, leading to improved outcomes such as faster recovery times. This is due to the precise and extremely controlled use of the surgical instruments, a study with the National Library of Medicine states. According to o cials at Baylor Scott & White- Grapevine, robotic surgeries were introduced at the hospital in 2008. Dr. Sina Matin, one of the surgeons who works with the robotics platform at the Grapevine location, said the robotic surgeries—which are also called robotic-assisted surgeries—are used on minimally invasive procedures via a computer console, which controls very small
“While not every patient’s surgery can be performed with the robotic systems, [more] procedures are using the technology.” DR. SINA MATIN, SURGEON
