Gynecology Robotic Surgery, Conditions Treated and Benefits
Robotic surgery basically refers to surgery performed by a robot. It is one of the most advanced techniques available for moderately invasive surgery. Robotic surgery and robot-aided surgeries are being practiced worldwide to improve surgical outcomes, reduce patient recovery time, and reduce scarring and blood loss.
Sophisticated software collects data for your doctor to review, including images of your internal organs. At some point of time in the near future, these advances should replace the need for exploratory surgery. A surgical robot is a computer-controlled, self-powered device that can be programmed to assist in the manipulation and positioning of surgical instruments. This allows surgeons to easily perform complex tasks. When you require such surgeries, you should contact the robotic surgeon in Chennai.
Gynecologic Robotic Surgery
Gynecologic robotic surgery is a modern innovation in minimally invasive surgical technology. Gynecological surgeons can treat a variety of conditions affecting the female reproductive system using small instruments controlled by thin, illuminated endoscopes and robotic systems.
In traditional open surgery, the surgeon makes a long incision to access the area to be treated. In laparoscopic surgery, the surgeon holds and manipulates an endoscope and instruments through several small incisions. Robotic surgery is similar to laparoscopy and the main difference is how the surgeon controls the surgical instruments.
What are the gynic conditions treated by robotic surgery?
- Abdominal pain and pelvic pain
- Endometriosis
- Painful periods and heavy bleeding
- Pelvic organ prolapse
- Uterine fibroids
- Cervical cancer, uterine cancer and ovarian cancer
Performing Robotic Surgery
- A console that allows the surgeon to manually control the endoscope and instruments and display the endoscope image on a screen
- A robotic cart with arms holding the instruments
- A camera that provides a 3D view of the surgical site
- A wrist instrument that converts the surgeon’s hand movements into precise micro-motions during surgery
Sitting at the console, the surgeon performs the most delicate and complex procedures through small incisions with utmost precision. Robotic systems are not programmable and do not perform their own movements. This is fully controlled by the robotic surgeon in Chennai.
