Robotic surgery holds great hopes in ensuring safe, effective and relatively painless urological procedures. Urosurgeries have evolved from open surgical techniques to minimally invasive approaches including endoscopic, percutaneous, laparoscopic and robotic procedures. Formerly exclusive to cardiothoracic surgeries, these days several urological and gynecological surgeries account for over 50% robot-assisted techniques. Surgical oncology, vascular surgery, and general surgery are a few other disciplines that find robotic applications beneficial.
Robotic surgery is a minimally invasive procedure that offers safety, shorter operation time, shorter recovery time and early discharge. As an evolved version of laparoscopic surgery, robotic surgery offers several surgical advantages and improved success rates over laparoscopic surgery. When compared to standard laparoscopy, robotic surgery offers increased accuracy, smaller incisions, and fewer potential complications and therefore, better surgical success.
Advantages of robotic surgery over laparoscopic surgery
Surgical robotics make complex, yet high-quality surgeries feasible and preserve the vital structures at the same time. This is the major robotic advantage over laparoscopy For example, in urosurgery, radical prostatectomy is commonly associated with post-surgical incontinence and impotence owing to damage to the neuro-vasculature (nerves and blood vessels). However, with robotic assistance, this neuro-vasculature are spared from surgical damage and the post-surgical complications are prevented.
Yet another advantage of uro-robotics includes the shortened surgery time. In open or laparoscopic partial nephrectomy, the blood flow is blocked to the portion of the kidneys that is supposed to be retained. Throughout the surgery, the risk for tissue damage is high which only increases with higher surgery time. With robotic assistance, urosurgeons are now able to perform partial nephrectomy in 30 minutes thus reducing the risk for kidney damage.
At Yashoda Hospitals, the team of robotic urosurgeons performs a wide array of procedures involving kidneys, ureter, prostate and bladder that are located in deep, difficult-to-reach sites in the pelvis. Robotic surgery allows urosurgeons to perform operations with greater sophistication. Surgical correction of uro-congenital defects and reconstructive procedures are now possible with great ease.
