CHRISTUS Children's recently unveiled its new state-of-the-art operating rooms, the first of their kind in Texas. These two cutting-edge rooms are equipped with the DaVinci Xi robotic system, which allows for minimally invasive surgeries using tiny incisions that reduce infection risk and postoperative pain. Additionally, the rooms feature a revolutionary system utilizing pressure control and specialized lighting to automatically and continuously disinfect the environment.
In an exciting unveiling, we introduced our new DaVinci robotic assistant, Trixie. Dr. Ann O'Connor, Chief of Pediatric General Surgery and leader of our robotic surgery program, highlighted how Trixie will enhance minimally invasive surgeries, reducing infection risk and postoperative pain.
We owe a tremendous thank you to Harvey Najim and the Najim Charitable Foundation for supporting the buildout of our high-tech ORs and to the SWBC Foundation for their generous $2.75 million donation, which funded the DaVinci robot.
Dr. Katherine A Barsness, Chair of Pediatric Surgery, shared, "With builds like this, it enables us to move to that next level of complex care, and we are so excited to offer families the chance to stay in San Antonio and return home quickly."
This gift marks SWBC’s most significant donation, bringing their total contributions to CHRISTUS to an impressive $6.2 million over the years. We are deeply grateful for their unwavering support. Special thanks to Charlie Amato, Gary Dudley and Lisa Wilson for their continued leadership, dedication and support for CHRISTUS Children’s.
