milestone when they performed that hospital's
1,000th robotic surgery on March 31, 2017,
nearly 6 years after initiating the program in
November 2011. According to the maker of
the robotic-assisted technology used by The
Heart Hospital Baylor Plano, the hospital's
cardiothoracic robotic program leads Texas in
the number of cardiothoracic robotic operations.
Cardiovascular and thoracic procedures that can
be performed with the robotic surgical system
include coronary artery bypass grafting, heart
valve repair, and all thoracic surgical procedures.
