The Minimally Invasive Prostate Removal Solution For Men
By Kath Wong | January 4 2020
While women think they have lots of health problems, men have theirs as well. These days, there is an increase in the number of men who are diagnosed with prostate cancer and this is inevitable. Fortunately, as technology develops, a specific device especially known for robotic prostate cancer surgery can help to treat the problems.
What Is Robotic Prostate Surgery?
Robotic prostatectomy is a minimally invasive procedure for prostate removal and cancer treatment surgery using radical prostatectomy that is also known as Robotic Assisted Laparoscopic Prostatectomy (RALP). Robotic surgery is acquired remote control operation where the surgeon sits and monitors at a distance from the patient. The procedure does not even require the surgeon to be present at the same place as the patient, this is done virtually where the entire movements of the surgeon are translated through the sensitive fibres of the machine for the instructions.
Features of Robotic Prostate Surgery
The da Vinci system used by robotic prostate cancer surgery offers several advantages over the typical surgical method when compared alongside. The advantages are:
・Clinically Superior Results
・Reduced Risk of Complications
・Quicker Recovery Period
・Minimize Scarring
As the operating arms of the da Vinci Surgical System is designed to avoid contact between the operating instruments and the walls of the incision, the da Vinci system greatly mitigates the risk of infection for robotic prostate surgery.
The da Vinci robotic prostate surgery system utilizes a much less invasive technique requiring four to five small incisions, each less than two inches. These smaller incisions will heal significantly faster than the large incision needed in traditional surgery, which means there is a lesser chance of infection than the normal surgical procedure.
The robotic prostate surgery procedure leaves incisions that heal with little or no visible scarring. In addition to the obvious aesthetic value, minimizing scar tissue on the interior walls of the incision promotes better healing.
With all the advantages mentioned, it is worth considering Robotic Prostatectomy as the best solution available for prostate cancer.
