What is Robotic Surgery?
Robotic surgery is a procedure where a trained surgeon uses a robotic surgical system to assist in a surgery procedure. The robot does not perform the procedure but assists the doctor to enhance accuracy and flexibility.
Many healthcare facilities have embraced the use of robotic surgical systems to treat different health conditions.
How Does Robotic Surgery Work?
The robotic surgery system has a camera and mechanical arms attached with surgical instruments. The surgeon controls the arms through a computer. Usually, the computer provides a clear and 3-D view of the surgical site, which allows the surgeon to lead the procedure effectively.
Advantages of Using Robotic Surgery
Unlike traditional open surgeries, a robot surgery system provides a better view of the surgical site, enhances precision, and uses non-invasive tools. It gives the surgeon full control allowing him smooth movement even on a smaller surgical site.
Other benefits of using a robotic surgery system include:
Fewer Scars
Usually, the surgeon makes 2 -3 small incisions throughout the whole procedure. The smaller and fewer incisions made will lead to fewer scars compared to open surgery.
Quick Recovery
The smaller incisions heal quickly, allowing you to return to your daily work activities after a few days.
Reduces your Risk of Infection
Robotic surgery provides high rates of accuracy, lowering any risk of complications. The small incisions made also prevent any chance of infection.
In addition, the surgical technique also ensures less discomfort and pain involved. It may also take less time compared to open surgery.
Who is the Right Candidate for Robotic Surgery?
Depending on your health condition, your provider determines if you’re an ideal patient for the surgery during your consultation. Typically, he may discuss the risk and benefits of the robotic technique compared to other surgical procedures.
Also, some medical practices may not have the robotic surgical option; hence it is essential to note that.
What Conditions Does Robotic Surgery Treat?
Medical providers use robotic surgery to treat various health conditions in urology, gynecology, oncology, and others.
