Dr. Brian Harkins | Robotic Surgery for Gallbladder
surgeon in Tomball, Texas
It was not that long ago that patients undergoing gallbladder surgery were left with a sizable scar and an extensive time to recover. It required a large diagonal incision in the patient’s upper right abdomen. Today’s minimally invasive Robotic Surgery for Gallbladder requires four separate incisions, but these incisions are only about an inch in length.
The gallbladder resides behind the liver where it receives bile produced by the liver, which is released into the small intestine to aid in digestion. Gallbladder problems such as gallstones may result in the need for robotic-assisted removal which generally involves removal of the organ. However, advances in robotic gallbladder surgery have dramatically changed the way surgeons approach cholecystectomy. In keeping with his commitment to outstanding patient care, Dr. Harkins and his medical team have mastered the laparoscopic minimally invasive robotic-assisted gallbladder surgery.
