TYLER, Texas (KETK)– CHRISTUS Trinity Mother Frances Hospital in Tyler celebrated a significant milestone today by performing its 500th robotic bronchoscopy, advancing its work in early cancer detection efforts.
The robotic bronchoscopy procedure is minimally invasive and allows doctors to locate and biopsy small, hard-to-reach nodules within the lungs with greater precision and stability. This method is considered a better alternative to open surgery, offering improved outcomes for patients.
Robotic bronchoscopy enables earlier detection and treatment of cancer, which can significantly increase the chances of saving patients’ lives. The procedure’s precision and stability are key factors in its effectiveness.
The achievement of performing 500 robotic bronchoscopies underscores CHRISTUS Trinity Mother Frances’ commitment to advancing medical technology and improving patient care in the fight against cancer.
