Robotic Surgery – DaVinci
Robotic surgery is an advanced form of “keyhole” surgery where the surgeon controls thin robotic arms and a tiny camera from a console, rather than standing directly over you. The camera gives a magnified 3D view inside the body, and the robotic arms copy the surgeon’s hand movements, but with extra steadiness and precision. The robot does not work by itself – the surgeon is in full control the whole time.
Benefits
Small cuts, which mean less pain and smaller scars compared to open surgery
High precision movements that can help in delicate or hard to reach areas
Wrist-like movement of the thin robotic arms inside of the abdomen allows wide range of motion
Faster recovery and shorter hospital stay
Lower risk of wound infections
Quicker return to normal daily activities and work
