Maury Regional Health

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month! At Maury Regional Health, we’re committed to ensuring Maury County and surrounding communities have access to exceptional care for their breast health. Ladies, do you know how often you should be getting screenings for breast cancer? If you’re age 40 or older, it’s recommended that you get an annual screening or mammogram to monitor your breast health. This is the most effective way to catch breast cancer early, allowing for a wider range of treatment options and better outcomes. If you have a family history of breast cancer, it’s recommended you work with your provider to create a personalized screening plan. Early detection can make all the difference! To schedule a mammogram at a Maury Regional Health facility, call 931.380.4044. Learn more about breast health at https://lnkd.in/eGjyaP-6.

Mark S. Hinson, MD, FACS, a board-certified specialist in general, robotic and breast surgery, performed his 500th procedure at Maury Regional Medical Center (MRMC) with the da Vinci Xi Surgical System. “Performing my 500th surgery with da Vinci robotic system is an incredible milestone, and it’s been rewarding,” said Dr. Hinson. “Every procedure feels like an opportunity to make a meaningful difference in a patient’s life, offering them a less invasive approach and a faster recovery. I’m grateful to have this technology at my fingertips.” The system allows surgeons to perform minimally invasive procedures in the areas of urology, gynecology, thoracic and general surgery. Benefits of the minimally invasive approach for patients typically include minimal blood loss, less pain and a faster recovery time. “My hernia procedure was a breeze, and I have no complaints. I didn’t even need to take pain medications after my surgery,” said Eva James Crichton, resident of Maury County and Dr. Hinson’s 500th robotic surgery patient with da Vinci. “The staff were kind and caring during my stay and Dr. Hinson made frequent visits to check in on me before and after surgery. I appreciate how present, attentive and informative he was.” Read more at https://lnkd.in/eH4HNbYT.

If your pain is impacting your quality of life, it may be time to chat with your physician and inquire about joint replacement.

Cason Shirley, MD, a board-certified orthopedic surgeon at Tennessee Orthopaedic Alliance Columbia. “Joint replacement can offer lasting relief and restore quality of life. Modern joint replacement techniques are highly advanced, allowing for faster recovery and a return to the activities that patients love. Many of my patients say they wish they had done the operation sooner.” Read more at https://lnkd.in/eZSHTBjs.
