Benefits for Multiple Health Issues

 

Robotic Surgery Multiple Health Issues line 1

 

Technology is revolutionizing the medical field with the creation of robotic devices and complex imaging.

 

In robotic surgery, or robot-assisted surgery, surgeons conduct procedures through small incisions (minimally invasive surgery) using very small tools attached to a robotic arm. The surgeon controls the robotic arm with a computer.

 

Robotic surgery has three main subcategories, depending on the degree of surgeon interaction during the procedure: supervisory-controlled, telesurgical, and shared-control system.Robot Assisted Surgery

 

Supervisory-controlled systemRobotic Surgery - Shared Control System

 

The procedure is executed solely by the robot, which will act according to the computer program that the surgeon inputs into it prior to the procedure. The surgeon is still indispensable in planning the procedure and overseeing the operation, but does not partake directly.

 

Telesurgical system (remote surgery)

 

Requires the surgeon to manipulate the robotic arms during the procedure rather than allowing the robotic arms to work from a predetermined program. Using real-time image feedback, the surgeon is able to operate from a remote location using sensor data from the robot.

 

Shared-control system

 

Has the most surgeon involvement. The surgeon carries out the procedure with the use of a robot that offers steady-hand manipulations of the instrument. This enables both entities to jointly perform the tasks.

Advantages and benefits

 

Robotic assistants can also decrease the fatigue that doctors encounter during surgeries that can last several hours. When surgeons experience hand tremors, the computer ignores it and keeps the mechanical arm steady.

 

Having fewer personnel in the operating room and allowing doctors the ability to operate on a patient long-distance could lower the cost of health care in the long term.

 

Robotic Surgery Advantages and Benefits

 

For patients there are various benefits of Robot Assisted Surgery:

 

3D Visualization

Endowrist Technology

Improved Dexterity

Minimal Invasive Surgeries

Resistance to Radiation and Infection

Reduced Blood Loss and significantly, Lesser Pain

Faster Recovery and Shorter Stay in the Hospital

Clinically Superior Results

Reduced Risk of Complications

Small Incision and Minimal Scarring

Enhanced Precision and Reduced Trauma

Low Hospitalization Cost

Treatments & Procedures

 

Robot Assisted Technology is used in surgical procedures that help in treating a wide range of medical conditions including:

 

General surgery

 

Robotic Surgery Treatments

 

Bile duct cancer

Colorectal cancer

Esophageal cancer

Liver cancer

Pancreatic cancer

Gynecology

 

Cervical/Ovarian/Endometrial Cancer

Uterine bleedings/fibroids

Hysterectomy

Pelvic organ prolapse

Depending on woman's age and the procedure, robotic surgery also may help preserve her fertility and improve her reproductive health.

 

Cardiothoracic surgery

 

Esophageal Conditions

Lung Conditions

Mediastinal Conditions

Cardiology and electrophysiology

 

Atrial fibrillation

Atrial septal defect (ASD)

Coronary artery disease

Mitral valve regurgitation

In robotic heart surgery, cardiovascular surgeons perform heart surgery through small incisions in the right side of your chest, as an alternative to open-heart surgery. Surgeons operate between your ribs and don't split your breastbone (sternotomy), which results in less pain, smaller scars and a quicker recovery.

Neurosurgery

 

The assisted robot empowers the surgeon in a broad range of indications in neurosurgery, including: biopsies, implantations of electrodes for functional procedures (epilepsy treatment, stimulation of the cerebral cortex, deep brain stimulation), open skull procedures surgery using  navigation, Ventricular and Transnasal endoscopy.

 

Transplant Surgery

 

Robotic kidney transplantation could be considered as the biggest advance in surgical technique for this procedure. Thanks to minimal incisions transplant procedure , there are no wound infections and the function of transplanted kidneys is excellent.

 

Robotic head and neck surgery

 

Soft palate cancer

Tongue base cancer

Tongue cancer

Tonsil cancer

Using the robotic instruments, surgeons can operate in hard-to-reach areas of your mouth and throat with precision and flexibility. Surgeons also can visualize the surgical area far better in transoral robotic surgery than conventional surgery.

Robotic Surgery line 1

 

Technology is becoming more and more integrated into the medical system and as we saw, robots do not actually replace humans but rather improve their ability to operate through the small incisions.

 

Although still in its infancy, robotic surgery has already proven itself to be of great value and is set to revolutionize surgery by improving and expanding laparoscopic procedures, advancing surgical technology, and bringing surgery into the digital age.
