The surgical robot is based on a master slave model. The surgeon sits on a command centre with a high definition 3 dimensional screen showing the pic inside the abdomen. The surgeons hands are attached to a gimble, and the movement of the surgeons hands are reflected by the robotic arms which are inserted inside the abdomen of the patient using key hole incision.
Why is it better than open surgery?
Open surgery needs large incision for the surgeon to place his hands into the abdomen. Therefore the patients skin and muscle are cut which causes severe pain and large amount of blood loss. This means patient required long time to recover from the surgery. If the same precision can be reproduced by a machine then patients pain and bleeding can be reduced. Since the robotic arms which are inserted into the abdomen are very fine and need small key holes to be inserted into the abdomen therefore the patient can be treated with advanced and complex surgery while at the same time patient can recover fast.
Why is it better than laparoscopic surgery?
Laparoscopic arms are rigid and straight. Although they are placed also be keyhole incisions however since they are rigid the surgeon cannot perform precision movement like the human wrist and fingers can perform. Against this the robotic arms simulate the movement and the articulation of the human wrist and fingers therefore the robotic surgeon can work with ease and precision and deliver result equivalent to open surgery without the need for large incisions and its complications.
Why is robotic surgery needed?
Today we surgeons want to perform precision surgery deep within the abdomen through small key hole approach. The robotic arms can replicate the movement of the surgeons wrist and fingers within the body. Therefore, the surgeon can perform complex surgery with no blood loss and less trauma.
How does it help the patient?
The patient gains by getting perfect surgical results while avoiding disfiguring scars and the pain and blood loss of the surgery is also minimised.
Robotic surgery for kidney cancer
Kidney cancers are a very common cancer and can be very dangerous. The best treatment for early kidney cancers is nephron sparing surgery. This surgery means removal of the cancer while saving the rest of the kidney. Since this surgery requires extreme precision, therefore it is best done with robotic assisted surgery.
This procedure was earlier done by open surgery. Since open surgery required a large incision and therefore the pain and blood loss used to be significant. With robotic surgery we can perform the same surgery with minimal pain and blood loss.
When the cancer becomes larger we have to perform a radical nephrectomy. This surgery needs a 10 inch incision in open surgery. But with robotic assistance we can perform this surgery using small key hole incision and the patient can recover with minimal pain.
Robot has helped us save many lives from kidney cancers. Do gain from our robotic surgical centre of excellence
Robotic surgery At NKPC Kidney Clinic
Robotic surgery is the cutting edge of medical science. NKPC Kidney clinic has always strived to provide the best of surgical care at the most economical price. Our motto has been cutting edge care at middle class prices.
Surgical robot is an intelligent machine which works under the command of an expert surgeon. The robot replicates the fine motion of the surgeons hands within the abdomen of the patient. Since the robotic arms are very fine and small therefore even very challenging surgeries are performed with very minimal cuts and invasion. Patients benefit with minimal pain and less blood loss.
Robotic surgery is applicable to all surgeries of the abdomen and the chest. At NKPC Kidney Clinic we specialise in advanced robotic surgery.
Robotic cancer surgery
Kidney cancer radical surgery
Radical surgery of the kidney means removal of large cancers of the kidney with early lymphovascular control, this is the best and only curative treatment for renal cancers.
Kidney cancer nephron sparing surgery.
When the cancer is smaller than 4 cm we can preserve the kidney while we remove the cancer and cure the patient. This surgery needs extremely precise reconstruction of the kidney which can be best done with robotics.
Prostate cancer surgery.
Prostate is located in the lower most part of the abdomen which is very difficult to access via open surgery. Robotics allows the surgeon ease of access and precision reconstruction of the urethra and the bladder therefore the patient has the best possible continence.
Bladder cancer surgery.
Bladder cancer can be cured by radical surgery of the bladder with reconstruction by ilial conduit of by neobladder formation.
Gastro intestinal cancer surgery.
Colon cancers are very common cancers which can be cured today with a combination of robotic surgery and the medical oncological care.
Gynecological cancer surgery.
Gyne cancers can be cured by radical surgery of the uterus and the ovaries, our expert team can deliver the best results for your painless recovery.
Robotic reconstructive surgery
Reconstructive surgery of the ureter.
Congenital pelviureter junction obstruction is a very common condition which is managed best by dismembered pyeloplasty. This surgery needs precision suturing to reconstruct the ureter which is best possible with modern surgical robotics.
Reconstructive surgery of the bladder.
When the lower ureter is blocked we perform advanced surgical reconstruction with boari flap reconstruction. We use a flap made from the bladder of the patient to replace the ureter.
Robotic hernia and gall bladder surgery.
Hernia and gall bladder surgery are one the most common ailments of mankind and can cause immense suffering and morbidity. With robotics you can have a painless journey to health and smiles.
