What You Should Know About the Robotic-Assisted Surgery System
With its state-of-the-art robotic surgery machine, Nisa Premier Hospital is ushering in a new era of minimally invasive procedures:
- Surgeon Control
- Contrary to common myth, the surgeon retains full control of the robotic arms—the robot does not operate on its own.
- The technology provides finer instrument control, enhanced flexibility, and a highly magnified 3D view of the surgical site.
- Benefits for Patients
- Smaller incisions and less trauma to the body, resulting in faster recovery.
- Reduced risk of bleeding and lower chances of infection due to minimally invasive techniques.
- Less postoperative pain and shorter hospital stays than traditional surgery.
- Minimal scarring, making recovery not only faster but also cosmetically more favorable.
- Applications
- This system is ideal for complex or delicate surgical procedures, including bariatric (weight-loss) surgery, gastrointestinal surgery, urologic surgery, gynecology, and more.
- The robotic technology is particularly valuable in high-precision areas where minimal invasiveness and accuracy are critical.
- Risks and Considerations
- While robotic surgery offers great benefits, it’s not without limitations: costs can be high, and setup or operation may take longer, especially prior to the surgical team’s full experience.
- There is a low but real risk of device malfunction or system failures.
- For some patients, longer surgery times may mean longer anesthesia, which comes with its own risks.
