Advancing Surgical Care with Robotic Precision: The da Vinci Xi at Springwoods Village Campus Ambulatory Surgery Center

Not all surgeries are the same, and they are never just about what happens in the operating room. An often-overlooked factor when scheduling an elective surgery is the level of invasiveness and how that may impact your recovery.

One of the most exciting developments in surgical care is the da Vinci Xi Robotic Surgical System, now available at Kelsey-Seybold Clinic – Springwoods Village Campus Ambulatory Surgery Center (ASC).

Trusted by leading hospitals worldwide, this robotic-assisted technology empowers our skilled surgeons to perform select procedures with greater precision and control. For patients, it often means smaller incisions, less pain, and a faster return to daily life, all supported by a coordinated care team that knows you and works together for your best outcome.

How the da Vinci Xi Works

The da Vinci Xi Robot system enhances the surgeon’s skill with advanced tools that improve visibility and precision during surgery. At the core of the system is a high-definition 3D camera that provides a magnified, detailed view of the surgical site.

Using a nearby console, the surgeon operates robotic arms equipped with finely tuned instruments that move with greater dexterity than the human hand. Every motion is deliberate and guided by real-time visuals and a customized surgical plan.

This collaboration between surgeon and technology allows for precise movements through smaller incisions, minimizing disruption to surrounding tissue and supporting a more comfortable recovery.

What Are the Benefits?

When paired with the expertise of a skilled surgical team, the da Vinci Xi can offer:

• Less pain after surgery
• Smaller incisions and reduced scarring and blood loss
• A faster recovery
• A lower risk of complications

The system also improves access to hard-to-reach areas of the body without requiring large incisions or repositioning during surgery.

What Conditions Can It Treat?

The addition of the da Vinci Xi to our Springwoods Village ASC expands the types of minimally invasive procedures we can safely perform in an outpatient setting.

Our experienced surgeons use this system across a range of specialties, including:

• General Surgery: Hernia repairs, colon resections, and related conditions
• Gynecology: Hysterectomy, fibroid removal, and treatment for endometriosis
• Urology: Prostate, kidney, and bladder procedures

What Is an Ambulatory Surgery Center?

Ambulatory Surgery Centers are outpatient facilities where patients receive surgical care and return home the same day. These centers are designed for comfort, safety, and efficiency.

At Kelsey-Seybold, our ASCs offer:

• A modern, streamlined setting
• Shorter wait times and flexible scheduling options
• Access to advanced surgical procedures with the same high standards found in major hospitals
• In many cases, lower out-of-pocket costs for procedures done in the ASC compared to hospital-based ASCs

Why Kelsey-Seybold?

Bringing the da Vinci Xi to Springwoods Village Campus reflects our broader commitment to evidence-based, coordinated care. Our model ensures that your surgeon, primary care physician, and any specialists involved in your treatment are in close communication. This team approach reduces gaps in care, keeps your treatment plan aligned, and supports a smoother recovery from beginning to end.

Surgery Can Be Better

At Kelsey-Seybold Springwoods Village Campus, we are proud to offer innovative surgical options, including robotic-assisted procedures using the da Vinci Xi system, in an outpatient setting designed for comfort and peace of mind.

When expert care, advanced technology, and a connected team come together, surgery becomes more than manageable. It becomes a pathway to better health.
