A little mentorship. A world of possibilities 🩺🌏

We snapped a pic with our South University-Austin PA Program student Serena Tang who we know is going to make a lot of patients’ lives better!!

At ATX Robotic Surgery, we love sharing our knowledge with patients and students. And we love learning from them too!! 💙

💙 Considering Surgery? Let's Start with a Conversation!

We know that the thought of surgery can be intimidating. Whether you've been told you may need an operation or you're simply looking for answers about ongoing symptoms, it's normal to have questions.

Do I really need surgery? Are there other options? What will recovery be like?

Here's something we want you to know: Scheduling a consultation with a surgeon doesn't mean you're committing to surgery!

At ATX Robotic Surgery, our board-certified general surgeons, Dr. Shey Ditto and Dr. Jonathan Huynh, believe that great surgical care starts with listening.

We take the time to understand your concerns, explain your diagnosis, and discuss your treatment options—including whether surgery is even necessary.

From hernia repairs and gallbladder problems to acid reflux and unexplained abdominal pain, our goal is to help you feel informed, comfortable, and confident about your next steps.

🩺 Experienced, board-certified surgeons

🤖 Advanced robotic and minimally invasive surgical options

💙 Compassionate, personalized care

Because sometimes the most important part of surgery happens before you ever enter the operating room.

🏈🤘 UMBILICAL HERNIA GAME PLAN: Know when it’s time to make the call! 🧡
It’s game day in Texas, and the Longhorns are taking on Ole Miss! 🏈 While we’re hoping Texas puts plenty of pressure on the Rebels, there’s one kind of pressure we’d rather you not ignore—the kind causing a bulge at your belly button. 😉
An umbilical hernia happens when a weakness in the abdominal wall allows tissue from inside the abdomen to push through near the belly button.
You may notice:
🟠 A bulge at or around your belly button
🟠 Discomfort or tenderness
🟠 Pain that gets worse with lifting, coughing, exercising, or straining
🟠 A bulge that becomes more noticeable when you’re standing or active
But does an umbilical hernia automatically mean surgery?
Not necessarily. The game plan depends on the size of the hernia, your symptoms, whether it’s getting larger, and your overall health and lifestyle.
When an umbilical hernia is painful, enlarging, interfering with your activities, or at risk for complications, surgical repair may be recommended. And for some patients, minimally invasive or robotic hernia repair may be an option. 🙌
One important play you don’t want to ignore: sudden severe pain, vomiting, or a hernia bulge that becomes firm, very tender, discolored, or can no longer be pushed back in can be signs of a complication and should be evaluated urgently. 🚨
At ATX Robotic Surgery, we’ll evaluate your hernia and help you decide whether it’s time for surgery—or whether watching and waiting is still the right play.
Because when it comes to your health, the goal is simple: less time sidelined and more time doing what you love. 🏈
Now for today’s other game plan…
🤘 HOOK ’EM HORNS! 🧡
🏈 BEAT OLE MISS!

Surgery can be scary, but we do what we can to make it less so!! 😱💙
One way to lessen the fright factor is to know what to expect. 🤔We spent Friday morning at the Sun City Health Fair showing our YouTube videos of what a robotic surgery really looks like, and had so much fun connecting with new and old friends. 😍

🏈🤘 SMALL BOWEL SURGERY GAME PLAN: Keep things moving! 🧡
It’s another Texas game day, and this week the Longhorns are taking on the Florida Gators! 🐊🏈
On the football field, the goal is to keep moving forward—and, believe it or not, your small bowel has a pretty similar job. 😉
Your small intestine plays a major role in digestion, moving food through the digestive tract while absorbing nutrients your body needs. But when something blocks, damages, or seriously affects the small bowel, it can bring everything to a stop. 🛑
Symptoms that may signal a small bowel problem can include:
🔸Severe or recurrent abdominal pain
🔸Abdominal bloating or distention
🔸Nausea or vomiting
🔸Difficulty passing gas or stool
🔸GI bleeding or anemia
🔸Abnormal findings on imaging
Problems such as a bowel obstruction, scar tissue/adhesions, Crohn’s disease, tumors, hernias, or other conditions can sometimes require surgery to remove or repair the affected portion of the intestine.
But just like every play doesn’t call for going for it on fourth down, every small bowel problem doesn’t require surgery. Treatment depends on what’s causing the problem, how severe it is, and whether it responds to nonsurgical treatment.
When surgery is the right play, minimally invasive or robotic approaches may be an option for some patients—helping treat the underlying problem while getting you back to the things you love. 🙌
At ATX Robotic Surgery, we believe the best surgical game plan is the one designed around the individual patient.
So today, we’re rooting for healthy bowels, forward progress…and the Longhorns to keep those Gators from moving down the field. 😉🐊

🏈🤘 IT’S TEXAS–OU WEEKEND! 🧡
Dr. Ditto is at the State Fair of Texas and the game with his family, enjoying all the things that make this weekend so much fun—Longhorn football, family time, and, of course, FAIR FOOD. 🎡🏈🌭
Corn dogs. Fried everything. Funnel cake. BBQ. Queso. Maybe one more corn dog for good measure. 😋
But what happens when all that gameday goodness doesn’t love you back? 🔥😬
If rich, fatty, or fried foods regularly leave you with heartburn, acid reflux, regurgitation, chest discomfort, or that uncomfortable overly-full feeling, it might be more than a gameday food hangover. A hiatal hernia can contribute to reflux and other digestive symptoms.
A hiatal hernia occurs when part of the stomach pushes upward through an opening in the diaphragm and into the chest. And while not every hiatal hernia requires surgery, persistent symptoms that aren't adequately controlled with lifestyle changes or medication may warrant a surgical evaluation.
At ATX Robotic Surgery, we evaluate the whole picture—your symptoms, testing, lifestyle, and goals—to determine the right game plan for you. When surgery is appropriate, minimally invasive and robotic techniques may be options for hiatal hernia repair.
Because the only burning you should be feeling this weekend is your passion for Texas football. 😉🔥🤘
Enjoy the fair. Enjoy the food. Enjoy the game.
🧡 TEXAS FIGHT! 🤘
🧡 HOOK ’EM HORNS! 🤘
And since this is Texas–OU weekend, we'll keep the other traditional saying off the official practice Instagram. 😂😉

🏈🤘 IT’S A BYE WEEK FOR THE LONGHORNS! 🧡
A little rest, recovery, and time to get ready for next weekend… because Texas is coming for OU! 🏈😏
And while the team takes a break, let’s talk about something that can seemingly show up out of nowhere: a ganglion cyst. 🖐️
Ganglion cysts are fluid-filled lumps that commonly develop around a joint or tendon in the wrist or hand. They’re benign, and sometimes they cause no trouble at all. Other times, they can become a real nuisance.
You might notice:
🟠 A visible or noticeable lump
🟠 Pain or tenderness
🟠 Discomfort with wrist movement or gripping
🟠 Limited motion
🟠 Numbness or tingling if the cyst puts pressure on a nearby nerve
🟠 A bump that seems to get bigger… then smaller… then bigger again 👀
Here’s the good news: not every ganglion cyst needs surgery.
If it isn’t painful and isn’t interfering with your activities, observation may be all that’s needed. But if it becomes painful, limits your motion, affects hand or wrist function, or just keeps getting in the way, it may be time to discuss treatment options. Depending on the cyst, those options can include aspiration or surgical removal.
At ATX Robotic Surgery, our board-certified hand surgeon Dr. Buczek will help determine the right game plan based on your symptoms, exam, goals, and lifestyle. 🙌
So while the Longhorns use the bye week to rest, recover, and get ready for the next challenge, maybe your wrist deserves the same consideration. 😉
Next weekend, though? GAME ON. 🏈🔥
🤘 HOOK ’EM HORNS!

I have a hernia, but I want to have another baby. Should I have it repaired now—or wait until I’m finished having children? 🤰💕
It’s a great question, and there is no one answer that’s right for every woman.
Pregnancy naturally stretches the abdominal wall and increases pressure inside the abdomen. If you have a hernia—or have previously had one repaired—those changes are important to consider when deciding when to have surgery.
For a woman with a small hernia that isn’t causing symptoms, waiting until after future pregnancies may sometimes be reasonable. Pregnancy after a hernia repair can place additional stress on the repair and may increase the chance that the hernia returns.
On the other hand, there are situations where repairing the hernia before another pregnancy may make more sense. A hernia that is painful, becoming larger, interfering with normal activities, or concerning for complications deserves a conversation with a surgeon rather than simply waiting.
The type and location of the hernia also matter. Umbilical, ventral, incisional, and groin hernias aren't necessarily managed the same way, and the best approach should be individualized.
That’s why family planning is an important part of the surgical conversation.
If another pregnancy may be in your future, tell your surgeon. Together, you can talk about:
🩷 How much the hernia is bothering you now
🩷 The size, type, and location of your hernia
🩷 The risks of waiting versus repairing it now
🩷 How a future pregnancy could affect a repair
🩷 Your plans and timeline for growing your family
🩷 Which surgical approach may be appropriate if repair is recommended
At ATX Robotic Surgery, our board-certified general surgeons believe the goal isn't simply to fix a hernia—it’s to understand the person who has it.
You have plans. We’re here to help you plan for them. 💕
