In honor of Leonardo da Vinci who invented the first robot, the Da Vinci Robotic Prostatectomy Surgical Procedure was introduced over five years ago. It is safe and efficient and there is much supporting documentation is available to reference. It can be used for many different types of complex surgical procedures.
Used for many types of cancers it is also used for coronary artery disease. It is minimally invasive that offers an alternative to open surgery and laproscopy. It is beneficial for complex surgeries with minimal invasion.
For localized prostate cancer it is the number one choice among surgeons in the United States. It is done using small incisions, there is much less pain experienced and shortened hospital stays. Patients can return to their lives in less time and their clinical outcomes are improved.
It does not place a robot in control, your surgeon controls every aspect with the assistance of the robotic platform. Some of the benefits surgeons have experienced are greater precision, improved dexterity, enhanced visualization, and increased range of motion. Patients have less risk of infection, less scarring, fewer transfusions and less blood loss.
A high resolution image in 3D is used by the surgeon to see the surgical site, this magnifies the field and assists with precision. Every movement of the surgeon is translated by the robot into micro-movements. The surgeon directs all input and the robot cannot be programmed to automatically do anything not manually directed.
The incisions are 1 to 2 centimeters, there are four interactive robotic arms and a high-performance vision system with patented EndoWrist instrumentation. It can hold up to three EndoWrist instruments and one 3D camera providing incredible precision and control. The surgeon is seated and experiences less fatigue and the Da Vinci robotic Prostatectomy surgical procedure performs millions of safety self checks. If there is a power interruption or a check failure the system is designed to shut itself down safely allowing full control for the surgeon.
