Robotic Surgery
Robotic surgery is an advanced, minimally invasive surgical technique that uses robotic-assisted systems to help surgeons perform complex procedures with greater precision, flexibility, and control. The robotic system translates the surgeon’s hand movements into smaller, more accurate actions inside the body.
This technology allows surgeons to operate through tiny incisions, offering patients faster recovery, less pain, and minimal scarring compared to traditional open surgery. Robotic surgery is widely used in orthopaedics, urology, gynecology, and general surgery.
Conditions Treated with Robotic Surgery
- Severe arthritis requiring joint replacement.
- Complex spinal disorders and deformities.
- Prostate cancer and other urological conditions.
- Gynecological conditions like fibroids or endometriosis.
- Gastrointestinal and general surgical conditions.
Benefits of Robotic Surgery
- Smaller incisions and minimal scarring.
- Reduced blood loss during surgery.
- Faster recovery and shorter hospital stay.
- Greater accuracy and reduced surgical complications.
- Less post-operative pain and discomfort.
Types of Robotic Surgery
- Robotic joint replacement (hip & knee).
- Robotic spine surgery.
- Robotic urological surgery.
- Robotic gynecological surgery.
- Robotic general and cancer surgeries.
Risk Factors
- Rare equipment malfunction or technical issues.
- Infection at incision sites.
- Bleeding or blood clots.
- Possible longer surgery duration in some cases.
Recovery
Most patients recover faster after robotic surgery compared to traditional open surgery. The smaller incisions allow for quicker healing, less pain, and an earlier return to normal activities. Depending on the type of surgery, complete recovery may range from a few weeks to a couple of months.
- Shorter hospital stay, often 1–2 days.
- Reduced need for heavy pain medication.
- Early return to work and daily activities.
- Improved overall surgical outcomes.
