Robotic Surgery In Gurgaon and Delhi, India
What
is Robotic Surgery?
In this article we discuss in detail Robotic
Surgery in Gurgaon. Robotic Surgery is an advanced form of minimally
invasive (key hole) surgery for various chest diseases which involves the use
of the state of art Surgical Robot to perform surgery inside the chest using
3-5 small (1-1.5 cm) cuts instead of conventional open surgery.
The robotic system consists of three main parts
The
Surgeon Console
It is the command centre which the lead surgeon uses to
perform the surgery. It has a binocular view-finder which provides a magnified
high definition stereoscopic (3D) vision of the inside of the chest cavity and
has master controllers which the surgeon uses to perform the surgery.
The
Patient Cart with Robotic Arms
The patient cart consists of the surgical system’s arms which
hold the specialised ports (hollow metallic tubes) through which highly
specialised wristed robotic instruments are inserted inside the chest cavity.
The
Vision Cart
The vision cart is the link between the surgeon console and
patient cart and houses the specialised Endo-vision system.
How
does it work?
The patient is given general anaesthesia. And after
preparations the surgeon makes 3-5 small 1-1.5 cms cuts on the chest through
which he introduces specialised robotic ports (metallic Hollow tube). The
patient cart is then attached to these ports through which specialised
instruments are introduced. The lead surgeon then sits on the surgeon console and
uses the master controllers to control the robotic instruments which work like
miniature human hands and carry out the procedure with incredible preciseness.
Advantages
of Robotic Surgery
The robotic surgical system is an advancement over the
conventional minimally invasive (key Hole) surgery. It offers
Ø Better
Magnification
Ø Stereoscopic
3 D vsison with better depth perception
Ø More
precise movements with filtration of tremors
Ø Adds the power of human wrist at the to the instruments allowing for a much finer and natural movement
These
technological advantages translates into
Ø Lesser
blood loss
Ø Lesser pain
after Surgery
Ø Lower
incidence of post-op pneumonia
Ø Reduced
duration of hospital Stay
Ø Reduced use
of pain medication
Ø Earlier return
to work
Ø No rib
fractures during surgery
Ø Better
cosmetic results
