What is Robotic Surgery?
Robotic surgery in Vadodara at Gujarat Superspeciality Hospital is currently carried out with the use of the latest surgical system, a unique set of technologies that include specialized “arms” for holding instruments and a camera, as well as a magnified screen and a console.
Robotically-assisted surgery was developed to try to overcome the limitations of pre-existing minimally-invasive surgical procedures and to enhance the capabilities of surgeons performing open surgery.
What are the benefits of Robotic Surgery?
For the Surgeon:
- Magnifies images up to 10 times
- Greater Visualization
- Greater Precision
- Enhanced Dexterity
- Ability to move easily, without damaging the nearby tissue reconstruction
For the Patient:
- Shorter Hospitalization
- Reduced pain and discomfort
- Faster Recovery Time period
- Smaller incisions, resulting in reduced risk of infection
- Reduced blood loss and transfusion
- Minimal Scarring
What conditions can be treated with Robotic Surgery?
Premium Health Surgeons routinely use robotic surgery for procedures involving:
- Gallbladder Removal
- Gynecologic Surgery
- Hernia Repair
- Small and large bowel surgery
- Thoracic (chest) surgery including treatment of Lung Cancer
- Urology Surgery including Prostate Gland Removal
- Kidney Procedures and other major bladder procedures
What takes place during Robotic Surgery?
- Robotic surgery is an advanced form of minimally invasive or laparoscopic (small incision) surgery where very small incisions are made in the body. A Robot’s hands having a high degree of dexterity are placed in each incision, in which one holds a camera and the other arm holds surgical instruments.
- Compared to open surgery (traditional surgery with incisions), robotic and minimally invasive surgery results in smaller incisions resulting in less pain and scarring.
- Robotic surgery allows surgeons to perform complex surgical tasks through tiny incisions using robotic technology.
- Surgical robots are self-powered, computer-controlled devices that can be programmed to aid in the positioning and manipulation of surgical instruments. This provides surgeons with better accuracy, flexibility and control.
- Your surgeon controls each of the robotic arms while seated at a computer console near you. This computer console provides your surgeon with a 3D highly magnified view of the surgical area. Special capabilities of the robot enable your surgeon’s hand movements to be extremely precise.
- A surgical team will be by your side to assist your surgeon throughout the procedure.
What are the different types of Robotic Surgery?
Robotic Gynecological Surgery
Open surgery can cause significant pain, physical trauma and can take a long recovery process. Therefore using laparoscopic and robot-assisted laparoscopic hysterectomy and other gynecologic procedures over conventional open surgery has potential benefits. This includes smaller incisions that may result in less postoperative pain, reduced blood loss and less need for blood transfusions, and a potentially faster recovery and return to normal activities.
Robotic Prostate Surgery
Studies indicate that one of the most effective treatments for prostate cancer is radical prostatectomy, the surgical removal of the prostate and surrounding cancerous tissues. The surgeon’s goal while performing the surgery is to cause as little damage as possible to nerves and blood vessels while removing the prostate gland. Therefore, robotic assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy over conventional open surgery is performed.
Robotic Kidney Surgery
Kidneys can become damaged by several conditions including diabetes, high blood pressure, cancer, cysts, stones and infections. Genetic problems, injuries and medicines can also cause chronic kidney problems.The da Vinci® Surgical System is used to perform robot-assisted laparoscopic surgery for kidney patients. Because of the precision of this type of laparoscopic surgery, kidney patients now have a laparoscopic option both for radical and partial nephrectomy.
Robotic Colorectal Surgery
During a robotic colectomy, surgeons remove cancerous portions of the colon and rectum, as well as benign tumors and polyps. A robot-assisted approach provides surgeons with the tools to more easily connect the two ends of the colon after the cancer has been removed. The procedure can be completed with a few tiny incisions, rather than the one long incision used in traditional open colon surgery. The robot provides the perfect visualization of the surgical site through 3D magnification and greater precision.
Single-Site Robotic Gallbladder Surgery
Although minimally invasive cholecystectomy has been used for several years, a new surgical refinement, in which only one incision, in the navel (belly button), is made to perform the surgery. Patients experience less trauma in the body and there is less blood loss during the surgery.
An important breakthrough in Medical Science
An important breakthrough in medical science was achieved in Gujarat when a cardiac surgeon Dr. Tejas Patel conducted the world’s first telerobotic surgery on a patient in Ahmedabad. Tele-robotic surgeries are performed at a distance from the patient from a remote location using robotically controlled instruments. It is enabled by computer technology and advanced robotics.
