What is a surgeon robot?
If the doctor ever tells you that you need surgery, you will surely feel overwhelmed and anxious. You may be concerned about whether or not the surgery will work, how much pain you may feel and how much time you will miss from work. The good news for you is that With the advancement in surgical technology, it is that robotic surgery or robot-assisted surgery allows doctors to perform many types of complex procedures, with greater precision, flexibility and control than is possible, using traditional techniques. Robotic surgery is usually associated with minimally invasive surgery, which means that the intervention is minimal. Al-Jarrahi are two fanciful words that mean smaller incisions.
These types of surgeries mean a shorter recovery time and a faster recovery for patients, and there may be several other benefits, including, less blood, less scarring, reduced risk of injury, a faster return to your life. Robotic operations are surgeries that are performed through incisions. Small, and it is sometimes used in some traditional open surgeries, for robotic surgery, robotic surgery has been rapidly adopted by hospitals in the United States and Europe for use in treating a wide range of conditions. The most widely used clinical robotic surgical system includes a camera arm and mechanical arms. Equipped with surgical tools attached to it.
The surgeon controls the arms while sitting on a computer unit near the operating table, so that the unit gives the surgeon a high-resolution view and three-dimensional amplifiers of the surgical site, the surgeon leads other team members who help during the operation. Robotic surgery is currently performed using the da Vinci ™ surgical system. It is a unique set of technologies that include specialized "arms" for carrying tools and a camera, in addition to an enlarged screen and a control unit.
How does the robotic surgery system work?
Operating this surgeon robot using the automatic system, so that the surgeon makes small incisions in your body and inserts miniature tools and a high-resolution 3D camera, and sometimes skin incisions are not required at all, and through a nearby console, the surgeon processes these tools to perform the operation, You can think of this system as being like a video game, when you play a video game, you move the control button, and the device translates your movements into real time, simulating your movements accurately on the screen, while doing this with the help of a robot, your surgeon uses key controls to deal with the tools The tools translate the surgeon's movements into precise movements within your body. Your surgeon is in control all the time. The surgical system, or what is known as a surgical robot, responds to the direction it presents.
We also know that many patients are concerned about the idea of a robot performing surgery, you should know that a robotic surgical system is a system that allows the surgeon to make precise and sensitive movements while controlling the device, the robot never makes decisions or makes incisions on its own, instead The surgeon tells the robot what to do, and the robot allows more precision than the human hand alone. The robotic system cannot "think" on its own, it only responds to the surgeon's precise movements of the hand and fingers, your surgeon is in the operating room, directing the procedure all the time during the operation You do not need to worry about this surgical procedure.
During robot-assisted surgery, the surgeon "directs" the surgery from a nearby location, but does not stand next to you as it is during traditional surgery, while each surgery differs. In the general steps of robot-assisted surgery, the steps of performing the surgery by the surgical robot include the following:
The surgeon makes small incisions (one to two centimeters long) in your body.
Your doctor inserts miniature robotic tools and a powerful camera into your body.
The surgeon then sits at a nearby console (large computer) to guide the procedure. In the console, the operation area can be seen highly enlarged with excellent resolution.
The surgeon sits at the console, handling the controls.
Instruments respond to these movements, translating them into precise, real-time movements within your body.
Robotic devices, which have greater skill and range of motion than a human, allow the surgeon to successfully perform delicate surgeries in hard-to-reach places.
What are the benefits of robotic surgery?
There are many benefits of performing the surgery with the help of the surgical robot, the surgery benefits you directly with the help of the robot, and it reduces the recovery time so that the recovery time is shorter as possible, and also indirectly, the surgeon has a better vision, which leads to more accurate surgery, as there is Other benefits including:
The surgeon has a greater range of mobility and dexterity.
The surgeon sees a high-resolution, high-resolution image of the surgical field.
Your surgeon has better access to the area where the surgery is being performed.
Shorter hospital stay.
Less risk of injury.
Less blood loss and fewer blood transfusions.
Less pain.
Faster recovery and faster recovery.
Faster return to daily routine.
Examples of operations performed by means of a surgical robot:
Colorectal Surgery.
The application of robotic surgery in the treatment of complex conditions of the colon and rectum has revolutionized the field of colorectal surgery, while UCLA has been at the forefront of minimally invasive colonoscopy over the past decades, providing patients with rectal cancer and other complex pelvic conditions with the benefits of surgery Minimally invasive use of standard laparoscopic tools has been somewhat limited. Through robotic surgery, colon and rectal surgeons have acquired improved 3D visualization and maneuverability in difficult access to pelvic spaces for life-saving surgeries for colorectal cancer and noncancerous conditions with small incisions.
In addition, the enhanced magnification provided with robotic surgery helps the surgeon reduce trauma to important nerves which improves the maintenance of quality of important life factors such as urinary function and sexuality.
General surgery:
The field of general surgery is one of the most exciting areas in robotic surgery, for a long time, general surgeons were not able to use small incision methods because they needed access to the entire surgical area. Using robotic surgery, surgeons can use the flexible tools provided by robotic arms. Combined with improved magnification and the ability to move the camera across different arms to control what they can see, this combination means that general surgeons can now consider using robotic surgery for complex cases.
Gynecologic surgery:
Women who had gynecological surgery often had a long-term recovery, up to six weeks, and large incisions made recovery very difficult. With advances in gynecological surgery, including robot-assisted surgery, women today can expect a much shorter recovery from pelvic surgery. , Robotic gynecological surgeons at UCLA are among the most experienced in the United States, having performed more than 2,000 robotic surgeries since then.
Head and Neck surgery:
Any kind of surgery in the field of delicate structures of the head and neck, requiring precision and expertise, carried out by an experienced surgeon at the University of California, the robotic head and neck surgery program was established shortly after the approval of the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), for robotic surgery of the head and neck Since this time, robotic head and neck surgeons have performed more than 120 robotic head and neck surgeries, over the past three years alone, more than any other medical center in Southern California.
Ancient methods of head and neck surgery required an intensive care unit (ICU) and sometimes having to break the jawbone.There were also concerns related to facial nerves and cosmetology including facial scars, lip ptosis and other complications.In the past ten years, great progress has been made in head surgery. Neck and neck robots are used to treat both benign (non-cancerous) and malignant (cancerous) conditions.
Thoracic surgery:
Our robotic thoracic surgeons have helped develop robotic surgery since it became a prime choice for surgeons as a form of treatment, robotic surgeons at UCLA have been performing robotic chest surgeries for longer than anyone in California.
Urologic surgery:
Robotic surgeons at UCLA offer a collaborative approach to treating urinary tract cancers and benign conditions.Any surgery involving delicate nerves, anatomy, and urinary function requires precision and expertise.Our robotic urologists have performed more than 4,000 complex robotic surgeries that date back. Until 2004 AD, they are among the most experienced robotic surgeons in the country.In addition, robotic surgeons at UCL have published techniques on partial robot-assisted nephrectomy for kidney cancer and robot-assisted nephrectomy for upper urinary tract cancers.
