Benefits of Robotic-Assisted Surgery
Traditional surgery often requires a lengthy hospital stay and weeks of recovery. With minimally invasive surgery, the goal is to accomplish internal repair while leaving the body surface as natural as it was prior to surgery.
Patient Benefits
When compared to traditional surgical methods, robotic-assisted surgery results in patient benefits including:
- Less pain
- Faster recovery/healing
- Quicker return to normal daily activities
- Less scarring
- Less risk of infection
- Less blood loss
Surgeon Benefits
Surgeons are now able to offer a minimally invasive option for complex surgical procedures. The robot’s every move is controlled by a surgeon. Instead of standing over the patient, the surgeon sits at a console in the operating room and looks at a large monitor. This gives the surgeon a few major advantages.
- The operating area can be magnified up to ten times.
- The image is 3D, providing an incredibly accurate field of vision.
The result is better vision, maneuverability and control. Surgeons have more success than with standard laparoscopy.
