Significant surgical milestone underscores commitment to advanced, patient-centered care
Huntsville, AL — The providers at Crestwood Medical Center completed the 10,000th robotic assisted surgery case Friday, a significant milestone that underscores the hospital’s commitment to delivering advanced, patient-centered care. Dr. Sharon Callison, obstetrician/gynecologist with Tennessee Valley OBGYN, performed the 10,000th case.
Robotic-assisted surgery provides a minimally invasive surgery option that offers greater precision, smaller incisions, shorter recovery times, and improved outcomes for patients. The surgical team at Crestwood Medical Center launched the robotic surgery service line in 2012. More than two dozen physicians practicing at Crestwood Medical Center utilize the robotic-assisted technology, including for general surgery, gynecology, urology, and ENT surgery.
“It’s an honor to be part of such an amazing accomplishment here at Crestwood,” said Dr. Callison. “Also, it’s incredibly rewarding to know that through this technology, we’re helping patients recover faster and return to their lives with less pain and fewer complications.”
To mark this achievement, the hospital hosted a celebration event, recognizing the surgeons, operating room staff, and support teams who have provided the surgical care that made this accomplishment possible.
“Reaching 10,000 robotic surgeries is more than just a number—it’s a testament to the trust our community places in us and the skill of our surgical teams and physicians,” said Dr. Daniel Boyett, surgery division chief at Crestwood Medical Center. “Every robotic case represents a patient whose life we’ve impacted positively.”
