Robotic Surgery for Prostate Cancer : Advantages over Both Open and Laparoscopic Prostate Cancer Surgery

The technology offers a number of other advantages over both open and laparoscopic surgery. It is a much less invasive form of surgery than open surgery, resulting in a shorter hospital stay and quicker recovery time, while patients experience reduced blood loss during surgery and reduced post-operative pain as smaller incisions are required. In addition there is much less need for blood transfusion and there is a lower risk of wound infection.

 It provides the specialist with far superior three-dimensional, high definition visualisation of the prostate, surrounding tissue and neurovascular bundles than is possible with open or laparoscopic surgery. It allows the surgeon improved dexterity and a steadier ‘hand’ when performing the procedure.

The technology translates the surgeon’s hand movements on the instruments on the console into corresponding movements of the robotic arm instruments inside the patient, which gives the surgeon excellent control in performing a wide range of motions.The robotic technology is a much-needed addition to the armoury in the fight against prostate cancer as it offers patients who require a radical prostatectomy a treatment option that delivers better outcomes.

Worldwide increase in robotic surgery

Worldwide, the da Vinci system is being used in an ever increasing number of different procedures. To date it has mainly been used in the field of urology to perform prostatectomies to treat prostate cancer, a procedure that requires great surgical precision.

Some 80% of prostatectomies in US are now being performed robotically, and the number of procedures completed with such technology is increasing significantly year-on-year throughout the world.

World’sMost Advanced Robotic Surgery for Prostate Cancer

A boon for Prostate Cancer patients – Advanced Robotic Prostate Surgery is now preferred choice for Prostate Cancer patients due to following unmatched advantages

• Minimal Bleeding
• Much quicker recovery
• Reduced hospital stay
• Lesser pain killer requirements
• Lower blood transfusion rates
• Improved preservation of physical appearance
• Three (3) D vision enables surgeon to perform Prostate excision with Cancer
• Control without risk of Post Surgery Continence (control over urinary and
• fecal discharge) and causing Impotency

What is Da Vinci master slave Robotic System?

The surgical application of robotic systems is one of the most exciting and significant technological developments of this century; its future implications are incalculable.Huge strides have been made in the field of closed operations in the past 10 years and the use of robotic systems has emerged as the principle solution to technical limitations|

The use of robotic surgical systems has numerous advantages. Whereas modern laparoscopic systems give only a two-dimensional vision, robotic systems give the surgeon a three-dimensional field of vision and depth, provide arms that, unlike the human hand, never tire and permit an unprecedented continuityin operations. Since robotic systemsexceed even the human hand’s freedom and facility of movement, far greater delicacy and dexterity is achieved. Modern robotic systems fall into three categories; active, semi-active and master-slave.But the most commonly used are master-slave systems distinguished by the surgeon’s absolute control of the robot via a remote control console.

The Da Vinci is a sophisticated master-slave robot that incorporates 3-D high definition visualization, scaling of movement, and wristed instrumentation. The operations with the Da Vinci System are performed with no direct mechanical connection between the surgeon and the patient. The surgeon is working a few feet away from the operating table, while seated at a computer console with a three-dimensional view of the operating field.

UnbeatableAdvantages of Robotic Prostate Surgery over the Conventional Prostate CancerSurgery

1) Usually in conventional approach, surgeons make decisions using tactile and visual cues to identify a phenomenon, which is actually microscopic which is likely to damage nerves or to leave cancer behind. In the Advanced Robotic Technique (ART) surgeons uses a sophisticated mastr slave robot that incorporates 3-D high definition vision, scaling of movement and wristed instrumentation that gives him the ability to perform Prostate excision with minimal risk of leaving the cancer behind and also minimal bleeding and post operative risk of incontinence and impotence.

2) Neither clinical nor imaging tests are sensitive enough to capture a tumour at T3 stage where it has become locally advanced and a risk for spreading to other body parts. Sometimes it is difficult for surgeons to find a precise plane between the cancer and urinary sphincter or the nerves and err on the side of cancer safety leading to incontinence or Impotence Da vinci robot system minimizes side effects thereby greater control for the patient over urinary discharge i.e. continence and return to normal sexual function after the surgery.
