Vinci Robotic Surgical System is a new technology to perform complicated
surgeries with greater ease and precision in regions of the body which are
difficult to access by conventional open surgery.
Robotic
technology employs fine operating instruments which simulate the motion of the
human wrist. Hand motions are scaled through a computer interface to eliminate
tremor allowing for incredibly precise maneuvers.
On
the patient's end, the robot's arms are fitted with 5 to 12 millimeter surgical
instruments and a small camera scope that provides a detailed view of the
patient. Seated only a few feet away from the operating table, surgeons view
the patient's anatomy through a screen that produces a THREE DIMENSIONAL image
magnified ten times.
The
robot that operates on the patient is controlled by this expert surgeon who
carefully maneuvers a pair of knobs to control the instruments. By using the da
Vinci system, surgeons are able to avoid making large incisions.
Because
there are several small incisions, instead of a single large opening, Patients
usually realize a number of benefits that include:
·
Shorter hospital stay
·
Less pain
·
Quicker recovery
·
Reduced chance of infection and other
complications
·
A quicker return to normal lifestyle
·
Less scarring
·
Less bleeding and reduced need for
blood transfusion
·
Decreased inflammation of body tissue
