Frequently Asked Questions

What is a ‘traditional open surgery’?

Open or traditional surgery is done by making an incision, which is often quite large, at the surgery site. Due to the big size of such an incision, many complications may arise such as blood loss, pain, scarring, post-surgery infections, prolonged healing time, etc. The duration of hospital stay after open surgery is also much longer, and the patient’s recovery is quite slow.

What is robotic-assisted or robotic surgery?

This type of surgery is performed by a skilled surgeon who uses a surgical robot in an operating room. The robotic surgical system provides various advantages to the surgeon who is able to perform better surgery than is otherwise possible.

How does robotic surgery work?

There are three main parts of a robotic surgical system: The surgeon’s console, the patient cart, and the surgical robot itself, all of which are present in the operation theatre. The surgeon sits at the console and controls the precision-guided robotic arms holding various miniaturized instruments which are inserted through keyhole-sized incisions in the patient. A small video camera is inserted into the body through another hole and which provides the surgeon with a high-definition 3D image of the operating site. The surgeon views this image and moves the robotic arms to conduct the operation.

Is the surgery performed by the robot?

No, robotic surgery is actually ‘robot-assisted’ wherein the actual procedure is performed by the robotic surgeon, but with the help of a robotic system. Therefore, human expertise and insights are still there which are further enhanced with the help of robotic technology.

What are the benefits of robotic surgery over traditional open surgery?

benefits of robotic surgery include a shorter hospital stay, less pain, less risk of infection, less blood loss, less scarring, faster recovery and a quicker return to normal daily activities.
