ETP Red River Valley Today with Guest Paris Regional Medical Center Surgeon Andrew Fraser, General Surgery and Robotics - Eric and Dr. Fraser talk about Robotic-assisted surgery – on our new da Vinci Xi robot – different types of procedures he performs with the robot, advantages of having robotic-assisted surgery. We get an update on the name the robot competition going on with area schools.
They cover cancer screenings (colon, breast biopsies) – and go more in to detail on colonoscopies, benefits, results of catching things sooner rather than later.
They also discuss role in trauma that comes in from the ER. A huge benefit of the PRMC ER is that they have an entire hospital attached with 24/7 on-call specialties – including general surgery. If you come in to the hospital from an accident and need surgery, they have general surgeons and other specialty surgeons that can handle that on-site or, if a higher level of care is needed, we can get you transferred out.
