Robotic Surgery
A Major breakthrough in Minimally Invasive Surgery
Baylor Scott & White Surgical Hospital Fort Worth offers robot-assisted surgery services, a major breakthrough in minimally invasive surgical capabilities.
Robotic surgery – also called robotically-assisted surgery – is a proven technique in which a surgeon performs minimally invasive surgery using a computer console to control very small instruments and a high-resolution camera attached to robotic arms.

Benefits of Robotic Surgery
Robot-assisted surgery gives your surgeon greater precision and control over the surgical instruments than is possible with human movement alone. And compared to open surgery, it can offer additional patient benefits, including:
- Less pain and blood loss
- Less scarring, due to tiny surgical incisions
- Shorter recovery time and hospital stay
- Quicker return to your daily activities
- Lower rate of surgical complications
