Robotic Kidney & Prostate Surgery 

Robotic surgery is performed with the assistance of robotic surgical instruments. Robotic surgery is minimally invasive, using small incisions to perform the procedure. The surgeon controls the actions of the surgical robot to perform the surgery for him/her. Attached to the surgical robot is a camera to guide the surgeon through the procedure. Robotic surgery helps give the surgeon full control in minimally invasive surgery, so movements can be more precise. Robotic surgery can be used for many procedures including gallbladder removal, cancer removal, prostate, kidney, and bypass surgery. 

Benefits of Robotic Surgery

  • Less invasive surgery - The robot provides the surgeon with an increased level of dexterity and allows them to operate in small spaces inside your body that would otherwise require open surgery.
  • Minimal scarring, reduced pain & shorter recovery time - Smaller incisions mean that your recovery time is reduced,  there will only be minor scarring where the small incision was made and your recovery period may only be a few days.
  • Reduced risk of infection and blood loss - Since the surgeon is making tiny incisions rather than large ones, your risk of infection or blood loss is greatly reduced.
  • More precise surgery - The small size and flexibility of robotic instruments make is easier for your surgeon to operate near healthy, sensitive organs, tissues and nerves without affecting them.
  • Enhanced visual field - An high-definition camera provides a magnified, detailed view of the affected area. The surgeon can see the microscopic structures more clearly, leading to a more precise surgery.
  • Increases dexterity -  The robotic instrument exceeds the dexterity and range of motion that the human hand has as its arms can rotate a full 360 degrees.
