There is a new type of minimally invasive surgery that is available to our Garland
and Dallas-area patients: da Vinci Surgery. The da Vinci surgery is a robotic-assisted
method which, in effect, allows for a major surgical procedure to be done with the use
of small incisions. All
three of our Ob-Gyn surgeons have now been trained and certified to use this new procedure.
