Robotic Surgery
Minimally invasive surgery is designed to provide surgeons with
enhanced capabilities, including high definition 3D vision and a
magnified view. Though the equipment is often called a “robot”,
it cannot act on its own. Instead, the surgery is performed entire-
ly by your doctor, who controls the system which translates his
or her hand movements into smaller, more precise movements of
the surgical instruments. Texas Health Flower Mound has several
physicians on staff experienced in robotic surgery for gynecolo-
gy, urology, colon/rectal, and general surgical procedures.
