We are thrilled to share a milestone at the Clear Lake Campus: our first successful robotic surgery. This accomplishment represents a significant leap forward in our surgical capabilities and commitment to cutting-edge innovation.

Robotic Surgery's Rising Impact

Robotic-assisted surgery has revolutionized our field, enhancing surgical precision and broadening the scope of minimally invasive surgery. Our journey into this technology promises exciting advancements in patient care, particularly for those in the Clear Lake area.

Promising Debut

Our inaugural robotic surgery was performed successfully by Dr. Richard Lu.  The procedure showcased UTMB’s efforts in creating a well-trained team to embrace the new technology with ease.   The robotic platform is a welcome addition to the vast array of treatment modalities offered by UTMB Clear Lake Campus.

Training Tomorrow's Surgeons

In addition to offering this technology for patient care, we are excited about the educational benefit for our surgical trainees.  We are dedicated to training our surgical residents in robotic techniques, allowing them to have this valuable skillset under their belt to provide quality patient care via advanced minimally invasive techniques.

A Future of Innovation

We anticipate this technology will play an integral role in our practices, boosting precision and efficiency in complex cases while advancing minimally-invasive surgical care in Clear Lake. Join us in celebrating this achievement as we advance the field of robotic surgery at Clear Lake Campus. Together, we'll continue delivering exceptional care and driving surgical innovation, providing our community with the highest quality minimally-invasive surgical options.
