Corpus Christi Medical Center has added a sixth surgical robot to their existing robotic fleet. The newest system includes the latest technology in the market, expanding minimally invasive options across general surgery, urology, colorectal, gynecology, bariatric care and more. The revolutionary platform offers enhanced real-time feedback, AI-powered analytics, advanced visualization and force feedback to help surgeons improve efficiency.
Patient benefits from minimally-invasive robotic-assisted surgery may include:
- Less invasive procedures with smaller incisions, leading to less scarring
- Reduced pain and blood loss
- Faster recovery
- Improved outcomes
“By adding a sixth surgical robot dedicated to a variety of surgeries, we’re increasing access for our patients and helping more people recover faster and return to their daily lives,” said David Irizarry, CEO of Corpus Christi Medical Center. “The addition of this technology is a key part of our commitment to partnering with community physicians as we continuously strive to raise the bar for care in our Coastal Bend community.”
"I'm excited to see Corpus Christi Medical Center add to their fleet of surgical robots. It shows their commitment to bringing the best in healthcare to our community,” added Dr. Lloyd Stegemann, bariatric surgeon at Corpus Christi Medical Center. “The technology that drives this new device will be the platform that all other robots will be measured against in the future.
