Robotic Surgery for Uro & Gynec Cancers

Robotic Surgery

Robotic Surgery is the latest technology for cancer treatment, which enhances precision of surgery and recovery of the patient. Surgery is performed by making small holes in patient's abdomen through which camera & instruments are inserted. The surgeon sits on the console, through which he can see inside the abdomen and perform surgery.

Benefits of Robotic Surgery

1. Surgery through small holes

1. Surgery through       
     small holes

As there is no big cut, the patient will have less pain and start moving early. This reduces his stay in the hospital and recovery time in all aspects. The patient would be back to his normal activities in few days.

2. Better Vision (3D,10X, HD)

2. Better Vision (3D,
     10X, HD) 

In Robotic Surgery, the surgeon gets 3D and High Definition view. Moreover, it can be magnified upto 10 times. This helps in identifying and preserving even small blood vessels and nerves. So, the blood loss is less & nerves are preserved better , thus improving surgical precision & patient's functional recovery.

3. Flexible Instruments

Robotic instruments have 2 joints and can rotate full 360 degrees on them. This makes the surgery more accurate and more precise, even in difficult areas. It helps in performing surgery and stitching structures even in narrow spaces, which is difficult for human hands too. 

Surgeries

1. Robotic Radical Prostatectomy

1. Robotic Radical
     Prostatectomy

This is done for prostate cancer. Robotic assistance is proved to reduce the blood loss, time to continence & time of recovery. 

2. Robotic Radical Hysterectomy

2. Robotic Radical 
     Hysterectomy

Patients undergoing this surgery for Uterus Cancer have lesser pain , hospital stay, blood loss and recover very fast. Moreover it is is proved to reduce the risk of thromboembolism (life threatening complication). 

3. Robotic RPLND

This surgery is done for Testicular/ Ovarian Cancer and robot proves to be quite beneficial while working on major blood vessels. Besides the above mentioned benefits of robotic surgery, the patient has some other benefits like less chance of neurological & functional loss.

4. Robotic Partial Nephrectomy

4. Robotic Partial
     Nephrectomy

This is Kidney Saving Surgery in Kidney Cancer. Robotic assistance helps in completely removing the tumour while maximally preserving the normal kidney tissue. Moreover it reduces ischemia time and leads to early return of kidney function. 

5. Robotic Inguinal Lymph Node Dissection

This is done for Vulvar/ Penile Cancers. Robot assistance helps to perform surgery in narrow space & reduces the morbidity related to wound. 

6. Others

Robotic Radical Cystectomy (Bladder Cancer), Robotic exenteration (Cervix Cancer), Robotic Radical nephrectomy (Kidney Cancer).
