What is Robotic Surgery For Prostate Cancer?

Robotic surgery for Prostate Cancer: A new way to cure cancer without risking life

Rapid advances in technology have revolutionized the field of medicine, allowing us to cure diseases previously thought to be incurable. The introduction of robotic surgery has further enhanced the possibility of achieving a complete cure for patients suffering from prostate cancer. While traditional prostatectomy involves dissecting the tumor from muscle, nerves, and blood vessels, the pain and complications associated with it are significant. To mitigate these issues, robot-assisted prostate surgery holds promise to achieve both a thorough excision of cancerous tissue in an improved safe manner while boosting patient outcome, functional outcomes, and reducing case time. In spite of new developments in surgery and treatments for prostate cancer, it remained technically demanding and often produced scarring around the surgical area. However, in recent years, the introduction of da Vinci robots and other technologies have provided a low-risk, minimally-invasive alternative to enduring rigorous traditional surgeries and likely offers a path towards expanded long-term survival of patients. Furthermore, combining the flexibility of minimally invasive surgery with robotic-facilitated, precise intervention shows the potential to increase the efficacy of treatment practices thus accelerating the restoration of functional independence for cancer patients while lowering the cost burden of care. Some of these ground-breaking improvements in robotic technologies include: A comfy OR where the patients stay upright, allowing them to breathe fresh air — just like they do when disembarking from bed — a fore-end vision system supplied with intensive computerized navigation, and sophisticated tool coordination with tractive coils that induce occasional variations in oxygen that places the intraopeartive radius of motion in autohold. In several respects, this system resembles a TV remote; the clinician uses respective controls to coordinate fine manipulations, zoom, pan, move in synch with d'Vinci-implanted infrared visual markers in the patient to track his progress through use of multiple live cameras, computers, positioners. For complicated procedures, vision may be switched back and forth several screens feed for easy updating. All this with near-free electricity. Furthermore, beings may enter laterally for procedures that demand extension to a patient's scrotum — such as spongiosal prostatectomy.
