In recent years, robotic surgery has become an alternative to standard open surgery as well as standard minimally invasive procedures for many urologic conditions. Robotic surgery may reduce pain and recovery time for many patients.

In this segment, Timothy J. Ruddell, MD., discusses robotic surgery for urologic disorders and how at Texoma Medical Center they perform procedures using The da Vinci® Si HD® Surgical System, a highly advanced technological surgical system that may provide even further benefits to those already experienced by patients who undergo minimally invasive surgery.
