What is Da Vinci Robotic Surgery?

Da Vinci Robotic Surgeries are robotic-assisted laparoscopy surgeries. Its the most advanced technological surgery in the world. And especially in urology, gynecology, general surgery, ENT, thoracic surgery, and heart surgery.

The Da Vinci robot only does what the surgeon wants, so it doesn’t operate on its own.
The most important advantages of the surgical robot, which is used in many fields, especially in urology, general surgery and gynecology, increases the success rate of the operation. And it reduces the bleeding rate.

Da Vinci Robot technology is one of the most successful surgical methods used in the fight against cancer all over the world today.

The imaging system of the robotic surgery operates with the principle of laparoscopic surgery. So the image from inside the body of the patient is transferred to the surgeon with the help of the camera.

During operation with Da Vinci robot; the surgeon sits on a console and the patient lies a little ahead of the surgeon. In this console, the three-dimensional image of the surgical field is taken, and the surgeon can move the arms of the robot with the sensors he has attached to his fingers.

The robot has four arms. They have the ability to rotate 540 degrees and move in 6 directions. One of the arms is actually a camera. It reflects the high-resolution 3D image to the monitor with a 10-fold magnification.

In contrast to laparoscopic surgery in robotic surgery, this image is three-dimensional, and the camera control is a flicker-free image because it is done by the robot. Clear images can be obtained at a larger magnification by approaching the organ to be operated.

The surgeon, with the help of these images, acts as a surgeon hand and activates the other arms of the robot and performs a difficult and sensitive operation. In addition, because it is much smaller in size than the human hand, the surgeon can also reach places where the hand cannot reach.

Thus, it offers many advantages to both the patient and the surgeon. In the laparoscopic surgery performed with Da Vinci robot, even the most delicate operations can be performed easily from a maximum of 5 holes.

In what areas?

With Da Vinci, many different operations can be performed, especially prostate and cervical cancer.

Urology:

Surgical treatment of prostate, kidney and bladder tumors, widening of the stenosis of the renal canals and a new bladder surgery.

Obstetrics and Gynecology:

Removal of uterine and uterus tumors, hanging of the hanging uterus, endometriosis or removal of myomas, opening of obstruction or stenosis in tubes, removal of adhesions

Cardiac and Vascular Surgery:

By-pass, penetration of the holes in the heart, mitral valve replacement and repair

General Surgery:

Removal of large bowel tumors, stomach by-pass, reflux and thyroid surgery

Ear Nose Throat:

Removal of tumors in the breath pipe and throat area. Advantages of the Da Vinci robot.

Laparoscopic surgery is one of the biggest revolutions in the field of surgery and has been beneficial for both the patient and the team for about 15-20 years.

Therefore, surgeries are performed with laparoscopic technique in almost all branches. Robotic surgery offers many advantages over the benefits of laparoscopic surgery.

Advantages of Robotic Surgery for the Patient

Fewer incisions:

In robotic surgery, surgery can be performed by inserting very small holes of a few cm instead of a long incision.

The incisions are very small. And the smallest vessel can be seen in high resolution and can be checked instantly. This greatly reduces blood loss and most operations do not require a blood transfusion.

Less pain:

Since the incision is small, the postoperative pain of the patient is minimal.

Healing in a shorter time and returning to daily life in a shorter time:

One of the most important advantages of surgeries performed with robotic surgery is that patients stay in hospital and recovery times are shorter compared to open surgeries.

Starting cancer treatments earlier:

With the Da Vinci Robotic Surgery System, these treatments are started earlier in patients who need post-operative chemotherapy or radiotherapy.

Overweight patients are more easily operated. Open surgeries are more difficult in our overweight patients due to excess adipose tissue. With the Da Vinci SI HD Surgical System, this problem is completely eliminated.

Advantages of Robotic Surgery for the Surgeon

Da Vinci Robotic Surgery, the most advanced surgical method, is one of the most widely used areas of urology:

Primarily the U.S.A. In many developed countries of the world, especially in radical prostatectomy (removal of the prostate) surgery, which is the surgical treatment of prostate cancer, and many other urological operations, surgeons prefer Da Vinci.

Operations with robotic surgery are more effective:

Thanks to better vision and dexterity, surgeries are performed much more effectively than open surgery. Since the surgical field looks much better, the probability of injury is much less than in open surgery.

Provides excellent field of view:

Robotic surgery is performed under a 3D image and the surgeon works with a sense of depth. This excellent view provides a much better view of all anatomical structures, large and small.

In addition, in robotic surgery, the camera is under the control of the surgeon himself, so he can see the desired part of the operating field at any time.

Small vessels and nerves are more clearly protected thanks to the robot, which provides 3D and allows for precision surgery.

Hand tremor is eliminated with robotic surgery:

The human hand trembles more or less physiologically. The robot eliminates this physiological tremor.

Surgeon’s increased comfort during surgery:

In open surgery and laparoscopic surgery, the surgeon performs the surgery while standing. Sometimes he has to stand for hours. In robotic surgery, the surgeon performs the surgery sitting down. This theoretically eliminates physical stress.
