Key Specialities
Cardiothoracic Vascular Surgery
Cardiothoracic vascular surgery deals with surgeries for heart, lung, and blood vessel-related diseases. Robotic surgery has emerged as a promising technology in this field, offering precise, minimally invasive procedures with fewer complications and better outcomes. Patients benefit from reduced blood loss, pain, and recovery time, and the potential for smaller incisions and better cosmetic results. Common surgeries such as coronary artery bypass, valve repair or replacement, and atrial fibrillation ablation are well-suited for robotic-assisted surgery.
During these procedures, surgeons operate miniature instruments attached to robotic arms from a console while viewing the surgical site through a camera attached to the robot's arm. While not all patients may be eligible, robotic-assisted surgery is an exciting advancement in cardiothoracic vascular technology that provides significant benefits over traditional methods.
Cardiac Surgery
Patients with blocked coronary arteries can benefit from coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG), a surgical procedure that increases blood flow to the heart. Robotic-assisted CABG is a less invasive option than traditional open heart surgery, which involves sawing the breastbone, or sternum, in half. It makes use of robotic arms holding surgical tools and a camera that is operated by the heart surgeon using a computer console. Through tiny cuts on the side of the chest, this minimally invasive technique allows for extremely precise control of the surgical instruments over a broad range of motion.
Liver Surgery
The liver is a vital organ for bile production, blood sugar regulation, and toxin elimination, making it one of the most vulnerable organs in the body. The use of a rather superior robot in liver surgical procedures permits for more unique and managed solutions, resulting in better results and quicker recovery times for patients.
The DaVinci Robotic System uses modern imaging technology to offer real-time, high-definition photos of the liver and surrounding tissues, making navigation of the complicated system of blood vessels and bile ducts simpler and more accurate. This technology is utilized for liver resection, transplantation, and biopsy tactics. Patients who require complicated liver surgical procedures or transplants can benefit from this less invasive technique, which gives better consequences.
Gynaecology Surgery
Robotic-assisted surgery has gained popularity in the field of gynaecology for procedures such as hysterectomy, myomectomy, and endometriosis resection. Unlike traditional open surgeries, the use of robotic surgical systems allows for minimally invasive surgeries with smaller incisions, reduced blood loss, and less pain. Overall, robotic-assisted surgery is a valuable tool for gynaecological procedures, improving surgical outcomes and enhancing patients' quality of life.
Hysterectomy
It is a surgical procedure to remove a woman's uterus (womb). It may be recommended for a variety of reasons, including abnormal uterine bleeding, fibroids, endometriosis, and cancer. Robotic-assisted hysterectomy is a minimally invasive approach that utilizes a robotic surgical system. During the procedure, small incisions are made in the abdomen, and a tiny camera and other instruments are inserted through a catheter. The surgeon operates the robotic arms from a console, using high-definition 3D imaging to guide the instruments and remove the uterus. This approach offers several advantages over traditional open surgery, including less pain, less blood loss, reduced scarring, and a shorter recovery time.
Robotic-assisted hysterectomy also allows for more precise and accurate surgery, leading to fewer complications and a better overall outcome for the patient. It is especially beneficial for women with complex medical histories, including previous abdominal surgeries, and those with larger uteri. The procedure may also be performed using a single incision in the belly button, resulting in an almost invisible scar.
Cancer Surgery
Cancer surgery refers to the medical procedure where the surgeon removes a tumour from the body. Surgery depends on the patient’s condition, health, cancer severity, and type of tumour. The surgery process begins with detecting the tumours via CT scans, MRIs, and X-rays which helps analyze how large the tumour is and decide the type of surgery required.
The installation of the DaVinci Robotic System has allowed for higher precision in treating various forms of cancers including breast cancer, colorectal cancer, gallbladder cancer, and cervical cancer. This cutting-edge device has been extremely useful not only during procedures but also in creating surgical plans. This aims to improve accuracy and lower the risk of complications and lead to quicker recoveries.
Head and neck cancers surgeries
Surgeries in areas like the head and neck require detailed visualization since these parts are difficult to reach. Hence, with the help of robotic systems, neck, and head cancer surgeries can be performed safely and effectively. Robotic surgery enables surgeons to use high-resolution 3D visualisations and excise the tumour precisely. The robotic system offers surgeons enhanced accessibility to work around crucial and delicate organs.
Colorectal cancers
Colorectal cancers are cancers of the colon or rectum. Robotic technology offers a greater range of motion and flexibility to a surgeon during colorectal surgery. It gives the surgeon a three-dimensional perspective of the surgical site, improving visibility and accuracy.
The steps in colorectal surgery may include partial removal of the colon or rectum, reconnecting the remaining segments of the gut, or removing adjacent lymph nodes. After the surgery, the robotic arms are removed and the incisions are closed, resulting in a shorter hospital stay and faster recovery.
Kidney Surgery
If a patient is suffering from any kidney disease like cancer or requires transplants; they can undergo kidney surgeries performed by a skilled nephrologist. The use of DaVinci Surgical System - robotic assistance has further improved our success rates, leading to quicker recovery and better precision.
Nephrectomy and Partial Nephrectomy
A nephrectomy is a surgery in which the whole kidney is removed. Partial nephrectomy, on the other hand, involves removing only a section of the kidney while preserving the remaining healthy tissue. Both nephrectomy and partial nephrectomy are performed with a minimally invasive approach, such as robotic assistance. Compared to open surgery, the minimally invasive approach frequently requires smaller incisions and resulting in less pain and a faster recovery period. In a Robotic-assisted nephrectomy, the surgeon uses robotic technology consisting of robotic arms guided by a surgeon and equipped with surgical instruments and a camera that offers a 3D view of the surgical site.
Urological Surgery
Urological surgeries involve correcting issues that affect the urinary system or reproductive systems. Surgical specialists known as urologists perform different minimally invasive surgeries depending upon the patient's health conditions. A few of the common types of surgeries include laparoscopic, robotic, through a single port, and endoscopic.
Prostatectomy
Prostatectomy surgery includes removing some part or all of the prostate gland. This is performed to treat prostate cancer or any other issues. Robot-assisted prostatectomy allows surgeons to operate on the prostate gland with greater accuracy. It offers better visuals to a surgeon and gives complete control to operate with precision. Moreover, the patients also recover fast as compared to traditional ones; due to less blood loss, less pain, and shorter hospital stays.
Thoracic surgery
Thoracic surgery refers to surgical procedures performed on the chest cavity, which contains the heart, lungs, oesophagus, and other vital organs. It is used to treat a variety of conditions such as lung cancer, emphysema, and pulmonary fibrosis.
Robotic-assisted thoracic surgery (RATS) is a minimally invasive surgical technique that utilizes robotic arms, which are controlled by a surgeon, to perform procedures in the chest cavity through small incisions. The robotic system offers greater precision, flexibility, and dexterity compared to traditional open surgery. The high-definition 3D cameras provide enhanced visualization of the chest cavity, allowing surgeons to perform complex procedures with greater accuracy.
RATS can be used for a range of thoracic procedures, including lung resection, oesophagal surgery, and mediastinal surgery. The system offers a less invasive option for patients, resulting in less pain, less scarring, and shorter recovery times compared to open surgery. RATS also offers a lower risk of complications, such as bleeding or infection, and a lower risk of postoperative pain and respiratory complications.
