Which Operations Can Be Done with Robots? Although the increasingly widespread use of robotic surgery over the past decade has been concentrated on urologic surgery, it is now being ever more widely used in general, gynecological and heart surgery. Robotic Urology The prostate is a gland in the male system that plays a role in bladder output and semen viscosity. It is composed of secretive cells and peripheral tissue. Prostate cancer occurs with the abnormal development of these secretive cells. Unless diagnosed early, prostate cancer spreads to peripheral tissues via lymph and blood vessels. The areas to which it most commonly spreads (metastasis) are the peripheral lymph nodes and bones. It can also spread to the lungs, liver and other organs. There are various methods to treat prostate cancer. The most effective of these methods is radical prostatectomy. The 10-year disease-specific survival rate for patients with well differentiated tumors who have undergone radical prostatectomy is over 90%. For this reason, radical prostatectomy is the most preferred of all available treatment methods. Traditional open radical prostatectomy surgery is carried out with a large surgical incision. This means the patient experiences longer hospitalization time, a prolonged period of post-operation recovery and healing, exposure to a higher risk of infection and greater scarring. Robotic prostatectomy procedures that have become more widespread in recent years are performed with a small incision and offer the patient a less traumatic and minimally invasive alternative.
Advantages of Robotic Radical Prostatectomy • Less Loss of Blood: In robotic radical prostatectomy surgery, the abdomen is inflated with gas. This gas pressure leads to a significant reduction in bleeding. The gas is discharged from the abdomen at the end of the operation. Moreover, bleeding can be more clearly detected and stopped earlier with the use of 3-D high definition cameras that can magnify the operation area. There is generally no need for blood transfusions. • Shorter Hospitalization Periods: Since robotic surgery involves smaller incisions and much less loss of blood, patients are discharged from hospital earlier than when compared with open surgery operations. • Shorter Catheter Period: Since robotic prostatectomy surgery enables waterproof stitching together of the urinary bladder and urinary tract (anastomosis), the catheter can be removed within 6-7 days. • Less Pain: Because of the smaller surgical incisions, patients experience less pain and discomfort compared to open surgery procedures. • Better Cancer Control: With the aid of 3-D high definition images and instruments that can move in 7 degrees, the prostate tissue can be more clearly observed during the robotic prostatectomy procedure. In robotic surgery the prostate apical region can be seen much more clearly and operated on much more precisely. As a result, surgical margin positivities are significantly reduced. • Better Bladder Control: Bladder control is regained earlier in robotic prostatectomy patients when compared to those who have undergone traditional surgery. Factors that help to achieve earlier bladder control include better imagery, less bleeding and the retention of a longer urethra. • An Earlier Return to Normal Sex Life: Robotic prostatectomy facilitates the protection of the neurovascular bundle around the prostate and allows patients to return to a normal sex life earlier than is the case with traditional surgery.
