Robotic technology has made cancer surgery more comfortable, safer, and more effective than ever before. Robotic Surgery provides surgeons with a magnified and clear view of the surgical site. This allows them to perform more precise and flexible operations on the tumor. Robotic surgery is a promising treatment option for prostate cancer in its early stages.
Robotic Surgery For Prostate Cancer has been gaining popularity as a treatment option for prostate cancers that are not spreading beyond the prostate gland. Robotic prostatectomy has a reduced risk of infection, less blood loss, minimal tissue injury, and a shorter hospital stay. It also allows for faster recovery. Patients with cancer who have had a robotic prostatectomy are significantly less likely to get infected.
Enhanced Precision
The robotic technology allows surgeons with millimeter precision to perform prostatectomy. The surgeon can identify, expose and remove the cancerous tissue with greater precision thanks to better visibility. The seven degree-freedom provided by the jointed robotic instruments improves dexterity, allowing the surgeon to seamlessly perform more complex and technically-demanding surgeries, like prostatectomy. This precision leads to many benefits, including fewer complications and shorter hospital stays as well as faster recovery.
Tissue damage is reduced
The prostate gland is located deep within the pelvis. It is surrounded by vital structures such as the rectum, venous complex, and sphincter muscles that control urinary control, and nerves that regulate sexual function.
Traditional prostatectomy is difficult because it is difficult to distinguish the muscles, blood vessels, and veins surrounding the prostate gland. These structures can be damaged and the patient could experience urinary incontinence or erectile dysfunction. It is also difficult to anastomose the bladder and the urethra.
Robotic prostatectomy allows the surgeon to have greater control of the procedure and can perform the surgery in a way that minimizes the risk to surrounding normal tissue.
Reduplication of blood loss, pain, and scarring
Robotic surgery allows surgeons to dissect more precisely and with less disruption, which reduces blood loss. Gas is used to reduce blood loss. It is injected into the abdomen during surgery to create pressure and provide surgeons with a better look.
Robotic prostatectomy is a less painful and scarier procedure that uses tiny incisions instead of one.
Accelerated Recovery
The hospital stay for a radical prostatectomy is usually less than one day, regardless of your age. The incisions are smaller and blood loss is significantly reduced, which allows for a quick recovery. Patients also feel less postoperative pain and require less pain medication.
Multiple reports have been submitted confirming that robotic prostatectomy has a solid track record for continence. Some men feel immediate bladder control after surgery. However, most men take weeks to regain control of their bladders. Patients do not have difficulty regaining sexual function after robotic prostatectomy. Robotic prostatectomy surgeons might use nerve-sparing techniques to decrease the chance of sexual dysfunction.
Bottom Note
Robotic surgery offers the precision and control that surgeons need to perform a prostatectomy for prostate cancers. Robotic surgery is used for approximately 90% of radical prostatectomies in western countries. Robotic prostatectomy is becoming more popular in India. Robotic prostatectomy is a better option for patients with early-stage prostate cancer.
