What is Robotic Surgery?
The robot consists of a set of robotic arms that attach to specialized tools that are positioned inside the body. The surgeon sits across the room at a console that controls the arms. Assistants stand next to the patient to assist the surgeon during the case.
Does the Robot do the Surgery?
The surgeon does the surgery. All movements are conducted by the surgeon, and there is no “automatic” setting that enables the robot to do anything on its own.
What Are the Benefits of Robotic Surgery?
Robotic surgery allows for less pain, blood loss, faster recovery and an improved cosmetic effects by avoiding large incisions. Robotic surgery also allows for faster recovery compared to traditional open surgery.
Is the Robotic Surgery Safe?
Two decades of clinical studies support that robotic surgery is as safe as open surgery. The main issue that relates to surgical safety is the skill and experience of the surgeon and the nature of the surgery. Our local hospital is equipped with a state-of-the-art robotic operating suite, and boasts an excellent surgical nursing team with specialized robotics training.
