Robotic Gynecological surgery is the latest advancement in minimally invasive surgical technique. Robotic surgery is similar to laparoscopy, using a narrow, lighted scope and miniature instruments. The main difference lies in how the surgeon controls the surgical tools.
The robotic surgical system includes:
- A camera that provides 3D views of the surgical site
- A console at which the gynecologist sits and views the scope`s images on a stereoviewer. The surgeon controls the scope and instruments using various control switches and pedals.
- A vision cart where the images from the scope are displayed for the assistant surgeon, nurse and other support staff.
- A patient cart with arms that hold the instruments. These wristed instruments translate the surgeon`s hand movements into precise micro-movements to perform surgery
Robotic surgery is a highly reliable method that provides surgeons with nearly 10 times magnified 3D view of the surgical field. Seated at the console, the surgeon performs even the most delicate, complex procedures through small incisions with extreme precision.
The robotic system is not programmable and does not make any movements on its own – it`s completely controlled by the surgeon.
Robotic Surgery offers many benefits to patients including:
- Very high level of precision & accuracy
- Ease of access to difficult surgical locations thereby making surgery safer and facilitating minimally invasive surgery
- Shorter hospitalization
- Reduced pain and discomfort
- Faster recovery time and return to normal activities
- Smaller incisions with minimal scarring
- Reduced blood loss and transfusions
