Why Robotic Surgery over Laparoscopic or Open Surgery
The da Vinci surgical systems, are made by Intuitive since 1995. Today, the company continues to create and refine robotic systems, giving surgeons the added benefits of technology that helps extend their capabilities. Instead of large incisions, the surgeon makes small incisions. Another big difference is that the surgical instruments need less space to do the surgery. This limits the need to push your muscle tissue and organs out of the way. The significant advantages of robotic surgeries include
1 . Magnified Surgical Vision –
The da Vinci vision system delivers 3D high-definition views, giving the surgeon a crystal clear view of the surgical area that is magnified 10 times to what the human eye sees.
2 . Precision –
In robotic surgery, the surgeon uses tiny instruments that move like a human hand but with a far greater range of motion. The system’s built-in tremor-filtration technology help him move each instrument with smooth precision. The robotic arm’s movements are more exact than a human hand. And their range of motion is greater. The arms rotate instruments in tight spaces in ways that aren’t otherwise possible. These provide much improved surgical outcomes for complex procedures like prostate, kidney, adrenal and bladder cancer surgeries.
3 . Minimal Cuts, Incisions with Negligible Scarring –
Robotic assisted surgeries requires 4-5 small 5mm punctures which leave almost no scars post surgery.
4. Minimal Blood Loss and Better Outcomes –
Significantly reduced blood loss and risk of infection compared to open and laparoscopic surgeries.
5 . Short Hospital Stay and Quick recovery –
Patients are able to take discharge in 2-3 days depending on the procedure and resume normal activities within 2-3 weeks of surgery but much longer recovery in other surgical procedures.
