Winter 2023 3 Gynecologic robotic surgery close to home High precision. Small incisions. Less downtime. Texas Health Mansfield offers gynecologic robotic surgery services so that you don’t have to drive far to get advanced, state-of-the-art care. Robotic surgery is a minimally invasive surgery. It allows surgeons to work through small incisions with great precision. During a robotic procedure, the surgeon sits at a console nearby and guides a robotic arm. This arm holds small surgical tools. Along with increasing precision, robotic surgery improves the surgeon’s visibility and access to narrow spaces in the pelvis. It may result in a: ● Shorter hospital stay ● Quicker return to activities ● Smaller scar Cynthia Garza, M.S.N., RN, is the Director of Surgical & Endoscopy Services at Texas Health Mansfield. “Robotic surgery is much less invasive than open surgery,” Cynthia says. Texas Health Mansfield is able to offer robotic surgeries thanks to the expert skills of the hospital’s surgeons, she notes. “Robotic surgery does not replace the surgeon or the surgical team,” Cynthia says. “It’s a tool for them to use.” Discover our Women’s Center Visit TexasHealthMansfield.org/ Women to learn more about how we can help you feel whole again.
