Robotics Surgery
Can u make a hypothesis about Robotic Surgery research?
i assume we’re talking about the DaVinci machine. i’ve scrubbed on a prostate surgery that employed it and was very impressed at how minimally invasive it was. blood loss for a TURP is something like 1.5L and it was 300mL with the robot, and the chances of retaining erectile function are slightly higher i believe.
Something that came to mind when i saw it was that you could have a world-famous surgeon in a faraway city perform your procedure with a competent general surgeon in the actual OR putting in the ports and being on-hand for major complications. Conversely, you could have a machine in developing nations and have specialty procedures done by a doctor in any far-off location. kind of an interesting concept, but the only hypothesis i can make of it is “will robotic surgery divorce the primary surgeon from the operating room?”

Robotic Surgery for Cancer Treatment $29.95 Robotic systems were first used to remove prostate cancer, then adapted for kidney cancer and bladder cancer procedures, which are more complex because of the variation in surgical anatomy, size and shape of tumors. The benefits of robotic surgery for a patient include decreased blood loss, nerve sparing and shorter hospital stay. This talk will focus on the latest advances in robotic surgery for … |
