Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital Denton earned an accreditation recognizing its work in robotic surgery.
The details
Texas Health Denton was recognized as a Center of Excellence in Robotic Surgery from the Surgical Review Corporation, which is a national organization that accredits surgical facilities worldwide, according to a news release.
The Center of Excellence is awarded to healthcare organizations that practice high standards of patient care, clinical outcomes, safety processes and overall improvement during and after robotic surgeries.
“This accreditation reflects the dedication, expertise and collaboration of medical staff surgeons, nurses and surgical teams,” said Jeff Reecer, president of Texas Health Denton. “We’re proud to offer advanced robotic-assisted surgical care that helps patients receive high-quality treatment close to home.”
According to the news release, Texas Health Denton’s robotic surgery program includes multiple procedures, including general surgery, colorectal surgery, hernia repair, gallbladder and appendix removal and surgical treatment of the upper digestive tract for conditions such as acid reflux.
By implementing robots during surgeries, surgeons have enhanced visualization, control and precision during these procedures. Many patients who undergo robotic-assisted surgeries experience smaller incisions, less pain, shorter hospital stays and faster recovery times, the release states.
What else?
Texas Health Denton recently earned its reaccreditation as a primary stroke center, according to previous reporting.
In order to qualify as a Primary Stroke Center, hospitals must have access to advanced imaging resources, have an inpatient stroke unit and employ staff with specialized education for caring for stroke patients.
