Robotic surgery uses advanced technology to perform precise surgical procedures, surpassing conventional methods. Many think robots do surgeries, but in reality, it’s the skilled surgeons controlling the robotic systems with precision. ATX Robotic Surgery uses the most trusted and safe technology: Da Vinci Robotic Surgery.

Robotic surgery machines combine engineering and medicine to provide precise operations, clearer visuals, and less invasive procedures, improving modern surgery. This is why robot-assisted surgery has gained widespread popularity: patients experience minimal postoperative discomfort and often return to their regular routines sooner than those undergoing traditional surgery.

How Does Da Vinci Robotic Surgery Work?

Robotic surgery offers greater flexibility, making it easier for surgeons to perform delicate surgeries in challenging areas.

Da Vinci Robotic Surgery Machine 

• Surgeon Console:  In the operating room, surgeons use a computer console with surgical tools attached to control robotic arms. They insert small ports called “trocars” into the abdomen, and the robot is connected to them.
• Patient Cart: This cart is Placed by the bedside and holds the camera and instruments, which the surgeon operates from the console.
• Vision Cart: It supports communication among components and a camera arm with a 3D vision system, which provides a detailed view of the surgery on a screen.

The Procedure

Every surgeon leads a team of assistants during a robotic-assisted surgery. Minor cuts are made in the body (sometimes, no cuts on the skin are needed), and tiny tools, along with the camera, are inserted. The surgeon then controls these tools from a nearby console to operate.

The Ideal Candidate

Robotic surgery is now an option for all patients, thanks to advancements in technology, which include shorter anesthesia time and better visualization. ATX robotic surgeons can perform operations on patients with various medical issues, including those who were previously thought unsuitable for surgery.  You can undergo a consultation with our qualified surgeons to ensure complete suitability.

What are the Advantages of Robot-Assisted Surgery?

Da Vinci’s Robotic Surgery improves surgical outcomes compared to Traditional Methods with:

• Precision in Surgery: Surgeons operate more accurately thanks to advanced tools and methods, ensuring better patient outcomes.
• Clearer Views for Safer Procedures: Modern imaging technology in robotic surgery provides clearer visuals, making it easier for surgeons to operate carefully and reduce potential risks.
• Minimally Invasive Approach: Smaller incisions in minimally invasive surgery lower the chance of infections, making recovery smoother and safer for patients.
• Less Visible Scarring: Patients can undergo surgery confidently with minimal scarring, knowing their appearance will be minimally affected.
• Reduced Discomfort and Quicker Recovery: Minimally invasive procedures cause less discomfort and lead to faster healing than traditional methods, ensuring a smoother patient recovery process.
• Measured Success: Da Vinci Robotic Surgery has a track record of positive outcomes across various medical procedures and specialties, with over 10 million procedures performed.
• Unified System: Its innovative ecosystem combines four generations of Da Vinci surgical systems, educational resources, and services for excellence in practice and program management.
• Smart Inbuilt: Robotic surgery machines have a digital platform that translates insights into actions, enhancing care and efficiency with over 99% system uptime through real-time monitoring.

Applications of Robotic Surgery

Robot-assisted surgery has become essential in different medical fields because of its accuracy and less intrusive approach. It is particularly important in urology, assisting in robotic hernia surgery, prostate and kidney (and/or kidney stones) removal. Besides, it is used in gallbladder surgery, appendix removal, small intestine, weight loss, and colon surgery. Robotic procedures help surgeons perform more accurately and benefit patients by aiding in quicker recovery, reducing discomfort, and shortening hospital stays.
