Robotic Surgery for Liv Hospital International Patients The surgical application of robotic systems is one of the most exciting and significant technological developments of this century; its future implications are incalculable. Huge strides have been made in the field of closed operations in the past 10 years and the use of robotic systems has emerged as the principle solution to technical limitations. With our CyberKnife, Da Vinci and Acrobat Navigator technology, and a dedicated team of trained and experienced physicians and specialists, LiV Hospital is proud to be a regional leader in the field of robotic surgery. This information has been prepared for our International Patients in order to provide more detailed knowledge and perspective about the techniques available to them through the LiV Hospital International Office. All our international patients are served by a support structure delivered by a personal Recovery Specialist; international patients should contact our International Office with any questions or comments concerning Robotic Surgery at Liv Hospital. What is Robotic Surgery? In the first part of the 21st century, the introduction of the use of robotic systems in the surgical field is an exciting and highly significant development. The development of this kind of system was initially lead by NASA in the 1970’s, with a view to facilitating the treatment of astronauts in space by remote control. Based on this concept, a prototype of the Da Vinci robotic system was first introduced in 1997 and received FDA approval in the year 2000. Since then, the field of application of robotic systems has expanded considerably; they are now used in numerous medical centers in heart surgery, urology, general surgery, thoracic surgery, child birth and pediatric operations.
What are the advantages of Robotic Surgery? In addition to the classic advantages of laparoscopic surgery, the most significant benefits of robotic surgery are as follows: • LESS PAIN: Minimal trauma to the skin and muscle means much less post-operation pain and discomfort. • LOWER RISK OF INFECTION: Minimum contact between the abdominal organs and the air in the operating theater leads to a significantly lower risk of infection compared to open surgery. • SAFER <strong>SURGERY</strong>: 3-D and magnified images provide better vision and protection of the blood vessels and nerves. For example, blood loss during surgery is greatly reduced. • LESS SCARRING: With 1 – 1.5 cm incisions compared to 20-25 cm incisions in open surgery, scarring is minimized. • FAST RECOVERY: Earlier post-operation mobilization and oral nutrition leads to the patient’s speedier recovery. • REDUCTION OF HOSPITALIZATION PERIODS: Most patients are discharged 3 or 4 days after surgery. • A FAST RETURN TO WORK AND DAILY LIFE: Patients return to normal life more rapidly due to more rapid recovery and healing.
