It was an exciting day at Texas Health Presbyterian Dallas! We were one of 10 hospitals in the country to get the new dV5 surgical robot, and I had the privilege to do the first two colon resections here, some of the first in the world on this system. Congratulations and thank you to the leadership at Texas Health Resources for acting quickly to get this system for our patients, and thank you to all the Presby surgical staff, administration, and the Intuitive team for making this happen so efficiently today!

A new instructional video for robotic transanal excision of a large re**al polyp. This technique allows incredible visualization and precision for a minimally invasive approach. This polyp took up 3/4 of the re**al lumen circumference but was able to be excised full thickness and closed. The patient experienced almost no pain and went home the same day.

This is a large re**al polyp excised transanally using the DaVinci Xi Robotic System. It is a minimally invasive procedure. The patient did very well and wen...

Alarming trend of younger people with colore**al cancer. Discussed with CBS Local last week. Tell your doctor if you’re having any symptoms of re**al bleeding or change in bowel habits, don’t ignore it!

Researchers at the University of Texas at Austin say data they've been looking at suggests colo-re**al cancer cases are up in people younger than 50.
