Advanced Surgical Technology

    da Vinci® robotic surgery

    As one of the first hospitals in North Texas to implement the da Vinci® surgical system, Methodist Transplant Specialists has carefully integrated this advanced surgical technology for many minimally invasive procedures. These advanced, robotic-assisted surgical platforms are designed to expand the surgeon’s operating capabilities and offer state-of-the-art minimally invasive options for patients.

    da Vinci® procedures we offer include:

    • Liver resection
    • Bile duct resection
    • Biliary bypass / Reconstruction
    • Pancreaticoduodenectomy (Whipple)
    • Single-Site Cholecystectomy (Gallbladder removal)

    How does robotic-assisted surgery work?

    The da Vinci® system is equipped with robotic limbs that can perform steady, precise movements that human hands can’t match. These limbs are also equipped with tools that can be inserted into the body without making the larger incisions that human hands would require. The robotic limbs are controlled by a trained surgeon. The da Vinci® system is equipped with small cameras that allow the surgeon to view the operation in real-time from a nearby monitor.
