Robotic Surgery in Arlington, TX
What Is Robotic Surgery?
USMD Hospital at Arlington utilizes three robot da Vinci® Surgical Systems to perform many advanced and minimally invasive surgeries. Our hospital was the first in the DFW area to obtain and utilize these advanced surgical robots. Minimally invasive surgeries typically mean a quicker recovery period, less chance of surgical complications or infections, and smaller, less noticeable scars. To learn more about the benefits of robotic surgery and how a minimally invasive procedure might help you, contact USMD Hospital at Arlington.

All surgeries carry some risk of serious complications, and you should discuss all possible solutions, surgical and nonsurgical, with your doctor while considering surgery. Talk to your surgical team about whether or not robotic surgery is right for you.
Robotic Surgery Review
Ok, having cancer is a major drag, and I mean MAJOR drag, but my experience here was pretty amazing. I was recently diagnosed with Prostate Cancer and came in here to explore both surgical and radiation options. Everything is cutting edge here, from the robotic surgery equipment, to the Varian Beam Radiation treatments. I ended up doing a 40 day radiation treatment protocol with Dr. Peter LaNasa. They took my insurance, explained everything to me in great detail. EVERY SINGLE DAY I went in for treatment, I was warmly greeted by his staff by name. The technicians were fun (and cute), and absolutely made the best out of what could have been a stressful situation. Can’t say enough about my experience with Dr. LaNasa and Dr. Sheperd (the robotic surgeon who explained that whole process to me).
How Does Robotic Surgery Work?
During your robotic surgical procedure, your surgeon will guide the da Vinci Surgical System instruments at a console while watching 3D high-definition images of the surgical area. Robotic instruments are able to make smaller, more precise incisions, allowing for less invasive surgical techniques. The robotic surgery team at USMD Hospital at Arlington is among the most experienced teams in Texas, having performed more than 16,900 robot-assisted surgeries since the hospital received the da Vinci Surgical System in 2003.
