Robotic surgery

Robotic surgery, also known as robot-assisted surgery, is an advanced surgical technique involving robotic systems to assist surgeons in performing minimally invasive procedures. These robotic systems consist of a console where the surgeon sits, robotic arms that hold and manipulate surgical instruments, and a high-definition camera system providing a detailed view of the surgical site. Here are some key aspects of robotic surgery, including the surgeries it can assist with and its benefits:

Surgeries that can be assisted with robotic surgery:

• Gynecologic surgery: Robotic surgery is commonly used for procedures such as hysterectomy (removal of the uterus), myomectomy (removal of uterine fibroids) and endometriosis treatment.
• Urological surgery: It is used for surgeries like prostatectomy (removal of the prostate gland), cystectomy (bladder removal) and nephrectomy (kidney removal).
• Colorectal surgery: Robotic systems assist in procedures like colectomy (removal of a portion of the colon), rectal resection and treatment of colorectal cancers.
• Cardiothoracic surgery: In heart surgery, robotic systems are used for coronary artery bypass surgery, mitral valve repair or replacement and atrial septal defect repair.
• General surgery: Procedures like cholecystectomy (gallbladder removal), hernia repair, and bariatric surgery (weight loss surgery) can also benefit from robotic assistance.

Benefits of robotic surgery:

• Precision: Robotic systems offer surgeons enhanced precision and control with smaller, more delicate movements than are possible with traditional open surgery.
• Minimally invasive: Robotic surgery is minimally invasive, which means smaller incisions, reduced blood loss, and a faster recovery for patients. This leads to less post-operative pain and scarring.
• 3D visualization: The high-definition camera system provides surgeons with a three-dimensional, magnified view of the surgical site, improving accuracy and decision-making during surgery.
• Reduced complications: The precision of robotic surgery can lead to fewer complications, such as infection, and a lower risk of damage to surrounding tissues.
• Quicker recovery: Patients typically experience shorter hospital stays and faster recovery times, allowing them to return to their normal activities sooner.
• Less blood loss: Robotic surgery often results in less blood loss during procedures, reducing the need for blood transfusions.
• Improved outcomes: In many cases, robotic surgery can lead to better clinical outcomes and a higher success rate, especially in complex surgeries.

At Methodist Hospital Landmark, we take pride in being at the forefront of medical innovation and patient-centered care. We are dedicated to offering the latest advancements in healthcare, which is why we are proud to provide robot-assisted surgery as part of our commitment to excellence.

While robotic surgery offers numerous advantages, its success still relies heavily on the surgeon's skill and expertise. Surgeons must undergo specialized training to operate robotic systems effectively. Patients should discuss their surgical options, including the use of robotics, with their healthcare providers to determine the most suitable approach for their specific medical condition.
