DESCRIPTION

Significant improvements in the surgical approaches and management of diseases have been made in the last century since the advent of antibiotics and aseptic surgical techniques. A major revolution has happened in the last 25 years, as the focus has shifted to minimally invasive surgery and subsequently to robotic assisted surgery. The da Vinci system is by far the most successful surgical robot in use today.

Robotic Surgery 

Significant  improvements  in  the  surgical  approaches  and  management  of  diseases  have been  made  in  the  last  century  since  the  advent  of  antibiotics  and  aseptic  surgical techniques. A major revolution has happened in the last 25 years, as the focus has shifted to minimally  invasive  surgery  and  subsequently  to  robotic  assisted  surgery.  The  da  Vinci system  is  by  far  the  most  successful  surgical  robot  in  use  today.Apollo Hospitals  take pride  in  housing  this  system  of  robotic  surgery,  which  has  led  to  success  in  many complicated cases. 

The robotic surgical equipment has three parts.  

1. Console  2. Patient‐side  robotic  cart with 4  arms manipulated by  the  surgeon  (one  to  control 

the camera and three to manipulate instruments) 3. A machine  that  helps  in  providing  view  to  other  doctors  and  nurses,  so  they  can 

observe the procedure 

Benefits 

• By looking  inside the console, a surgeon is able to get a three‐dimensional view of the patient’s internal organs, which is made possible with the help of an endoscopic camera with high clarity.  It provides relief  to the surgeons as well, as they are not required to stand over the patient for hours, bent in odd angles. 

• Surgical  robotic  systems  can  augment  and  extend  the  human  capabilities  of surgeons. The robot also reduces hand tremors and hence  is more precise. Due  to miniaturization  and  addition  of  the  “wrist”  to  robotic  endoscopic  instruments, surgical  robots  have  enabled  procedures  to  be  performed  that  are  otherwise  not possible with manually controlled endoscopic instruments. 

• It allows the surgeon to operate in increasingly smaller spaces, through increasingly smaller  incisions,  resulting  in  decreased morbidity  and more  rapid  recovery  time, translating  into  earlier  discharge  from  hospital  and  earlier  return  to  activity  and work, hence reducing overall cost. 

 

Applications 

A robotic platform has multiple applications and can be used by various specialties to bring down the cost. 

General/GI  surgery:  Whipple’s  surgery,  Nissen  fundoplication,  Heller  myotomy, Esophegectomy 

Urology: Radical prostatectomy, Partial nephrectomy, Radical cystectomy, Pyeloplasty 

Cardiothoracic surgery:  Coronary  artery bypass, Mitral  valve  replacement, Atrial  septal defect repair, Lung resection 

Cardiology: Ablation for arrhythmias, Guided stent placement

Neurosurgery: Stereotactic brain surgeries, Biopsies, Tumour resection 

Orthopaedics: Total knee and hip replacements, Ligament surgeries 

Surgical  Oncology:Abdominoperineal  resection  and  Anterior  resection  for  colorectal cancers 

Gynaecology:  Myomectomy  for  fibroids,  Radical  hysterectomy  for  tumours,  Ovarian tumour removal 

Radiosurgery:Cyberknife surgery
