SETTING THE STANDARD - Central Oklahoma's Most Experienced Robotic Surgeons

da Vinci Surgical System

If there were a surgeon with eyes that could see with the clarity of a high-powered microscope and hands that could move with the precision of a robot, would you choose that surgeon for your procedure? At Midwest Regional Medical Center, you can.

Midwest Regional is Oklahoma’s leader in robotic surgery with the most experienced robotic surgeons in the state. When our surgeons use robotics, you have less scarring, less pain, and a faster recovery. And with robotic surgery for prostate cancer, there’s also less chance of incontinence or impotence.

Midwest Regional Medical Center was the first hospital in the Oklahoma City metro area to install a da Vinci Robotic Surgical System. Robotic-assisted surgery is the next generation of minimally invasive surgery, using techniques that allow a surgeon to operate through several small incisions about the size of a dime. Benefits for the surgeon include increased range of motion, improved dexterity, and enhanced 3D visualization. For patients, the da Vinci system offers all the benefits of minimally invasive surgery, including shorter hospital stays, less pain, reduced risk of infection, less blood loss, less scarring, and faster recovery time.

Seated at a Master Console, the surgeon controls tiny, wristed robotic “arms” and an endoscope (camera) by using his own fingertips. The handles or “Masters” translate the surgeon’s natural hand and wrist movements into corresponding, precise and scaled movements of the surgical instruments inside the patient.

“By enhancing surgical capability through improved technology, we are able to provide patients with better clinical outcomes so they can return to active, productive lives more quickly,” explains Fayyaz Hashmi, MD, cardiovascular and thoracic surgeon.
