Gone are the days when large incisions were essential for abdominal surgeries. A decade ago, laparoscopic procedures became commonplace, and today, robotic surgery stands as the pinnacle of minimally invasive techniques, replacing substantial openings with small incisions.

Contrary to common misconceptions, robotic surgery does not involve autonomous robots. Instead, surgeons use a sophisticated robotic system known as the Da Vinci. The system faithfully replicates the surgeon’s movements in real-time, with no programming or decision-making capabilities independent of the surgeon’s control.

In terms of technical superiority, robotic surgery surpasses laparoscopic and endoscopic procedures. This advanced method allows surgeons to perform complex surgical tasks that are impractical with other methods.

Incorporating 3D vision, significantly enhanced magnification (ten times) and tremor detection mechanisms, robotic surgery offers several advantages over conventional methods.

Enhanced precision in intricate procedures is a notable advantage for surgeons, attributable to superior visualization and improved access. For patients, this translates to reduced hospitalization periods, minimized blood loss, and expedited recovery.

During robotic surgery, a series of four fingertip incisions facilitate the passage of robotic hands and arms that support instruments such as tissue grasping graspers, scissors, or bipolar graspers for cauterization. These 8mm instruments navigate seamlessly through fingertip incisions.

Situated at a console equipped with a 3D monitor, the surgeon oversees and guides the surgical procedure, with the assistant utilizing a distinct monitor adjacent to the operating table. The surgeon’s hand tremors present no risk to the procedure, and the combination of magnification and 3D imaging aids in minimizing blood loss. Vessels are distinctly visible, facilitating prompt coagulation, with hemlocks applied for larger vessels. The procedure duration is condensed, resulting in an accelerated patient recovery.
