Robot-Assisted Surgery
Robot-Assisted Surgery and the Da Vinci System Through robot-assisted surgery, surgical procedures result in more accurate, safe, and effective outcomes, while also allowing for smaller incisions, minimal blood loss, faster recovery, and a reduced risk of complications post-surgery. The technology has been brought on to tackle surgeries previously deemed too complex or in too difficult-to-access areas.
Doctors use the Da Vinci Surgical System in the treatment of almost all organ systems. Examples of conditions and diseases which are appropriate for the use of robot-assisted surgery include:
The process is the same as any standard surgery. The patient’s physical condition will be evaluated prior to surgery. The doctor will compile information from the patient’s medical history, a physical examination, and laboratory test results, just as in other surgical procedures, in order to ensure that the patient is physically and mentally prepared to undergo surgery. With regards to preparing the patient for surgery, the process will include providing the patient with information about how the anesthesia works, postoperative care, and any possible complications that may occur Patients must not eat or drink anything before surgery. Antimicrobials will also be given to minimize any risk of infection.
Use of the Da Vinci system in robot-assisted surgery has the same risks and can cause complications just like most other types of surgery. The types of complications depend on the condition of the patient and the severity of the disease. Robotic-assisted surgery is not suitable for all patients. Doctors will consider whether or not it is appropriate and will give a clear description of any risks or complications that may occur for each individual patient.
