Robotic surgery is the surgery which is also known as the minimally invasive surgery. The term “Minimally Invasive” means that instead of operating on the patient through a huge incision, the surgeon uses shrunken surgical instruments that fit through a series of the quarter-inch incisions. While performing the surgery with the world most advanced robots, these shrunken instruments are mounted on three separated robotic arms, allowing the surgeon maximum range of motion and precision. Most of the robots which are used in the robotic surgery, a 3-D camera is built on their arms for guiding the surgeon where to proceed.
The surgeon who is operating in the operation room controls all these instruments and camera from a console located in the operating room. By placing the fingers on all four arms surgeon can control all of the four arms of the robot, simultaneously, while looking with the help of stereoscopic on a high-definition monitor that literally places him inside the patient, giving him the better, more detailed 3-D view of the operating site than the human eye can deliver.
Every moment the surgeon makes with the master controls is replicated precisely by the robot. When needed, the surgeon can even change the balance, the tip of the robot’s movements. If he chooses the Three-to-one scale, the tip of the robot’s arm will travel just one inch for every three inches the surgeon’s hand moves. And because of the console’s design, the surgeon’s eyes and hands are always perfectly allied with his view of the surgical site, reducing surgeon exhaustion.
Benefits of the robotic surgery-
The main aim of using the robots in medical is to provide improved diagnostic abilities, a less invasive and more comfortable experience for the patient and also to provide the ability to do smaller and more precise involvement.
Currently, the robots are used only in performing some of the medical treatments such as kidney surgeries, open-heart surgery, joint replacements, the removal of fibroids and hysterectomies
They can be used beside with MRIs to offer organ biopsies. As in this surgery the doctor monitors and control each activity by a computer, then it is not necessary of the doctor to stay at the place where the patient is lying.
In the long hour surgeries, the surgeon can feel hand fatigue and stiffness whereas the robot does not feel these emotions.
In performing the surgery and curing various diseases Dr. Anshuman Agarwal is one of the known surgeons who have a lots of experience in performing the various type of urological robotic surgery.
