Our team of internationally-trained oncologists offers an integrated robotics program to deal with complex oncological cases through small incisions with the advantages of enhanced 3-dimensional vision, combined with the precision, dexterity and control of the robotic platform
What is Robotic Surgery?
Robotic Surgery is a type of minimally-invasive (small incision) surgery that allows surgeons to perform complex operations with high precision and improved outcomes. The surgeons use a computer-controlled robot to assist them in surgical procedures. The surgeon sits at a console and controls instruments within the patients’ body with his/her wrist movements.
What are The Benefits Of Robotic-Assisted Surgery?
Some of the major benefits of robotic-assisted surgery include:
- Allows the surgeon to access and operate in confined spaces in the body
- Faster recovery (a quicker return to normal activities)
- Greater visibility with the three-dimensional camera and greater camera magnification for viewing intricate anatomy
- Less blood loss
- Less pain
- Lower risk of complications, including surgical site infection
- Shorter hospital stay
- Smaller, less visible scars
- Unmatched precision
