Robotic surgery-Is Robot operating on me?
Robotic-assisted surgery with the “da Vinci” surgical system uses 3D high definition camera for a crystal-clear, magnified view of hernia. Together, the robotic technology and highly skilled surgeon perform complex procedures.
Robots does not think and operate on its own. The surgeon controls and directs the Robot, Robotic arm holds tiny instruments through tiny incisions and translates surgeons hand movements into more precise real time movements.
What happens in Robotic Surgery?
Following is expected step wise during Robotic surgery, it usually takes 1-2 hours depending on the procedure.
- Surgeon makes tiny incisions in your body.
- Surgeon inserts robotic instruments and a High definition camera for clear view which is sent to the monitor screen).
- Surgeon sits at a nearby console looking at real time images on screen to direct the procedure.
- Another assistant surgeon stands near you to adjust any tool if needed.
- The instruments act as extended arms and translates surgeons’ movements into precise, real-time movements inside your body.
- The robotic system has greater dexterity and range of motion than a human, allow your surgeon to successfully perform delicate surgeries in hard-to-reach places.
