An Overview Of DaVinci Robotic Surgery Houston And Its Advantages

By Larry Wright


Nothing could ever scare the prostate cancer patients like the term surgery. The prostate is such a sensitive organ that any operation is bound to be accompanied by various side effects. However, such patients may finally have a sigh of relief upon hearing About the latest surgical technology dubbed the DaVinci robotic surgery Houston technique.

Robotic surgery is the latest technological advancement. It targets the field of surgical operations. It can be contrasted to the traditional method in which the operation was done manually. In this setup an advanced machine which is made up of arm like extensions is used in conducting the operations. The arms can be four or three. Two arms are used to do the operation; one arm is used an s a camera while the other arm is used to remove obstacles.

A three-dimensional imagery technique is used to view the internal parts of organ being operated on. The surgeon then controls the arms using a state of the art motion sensor technology. The arms are then directed to make the incisions. During the procedure, the machine has a vibration damping feature which controls the vibration hence increasing its precision.

This technique is much better as compared to the traditional open surgery technique. There are fewer side effects associated with it. The side effects usually arise when the nerve paths and its endings are tampered with or altered in any way.

The patients who are operated using this technique require a shorter recovery period. In open technique the patients had weakened muscles after the procedures and they are weaker. That forced them to wear then catheter for a longer period. This operation requires only small incisions, so the amount of time spent in pain management significantly reduces.

Once the procedure is done the patient has less, visible scars. Minimal scarring is an advantage especially when stitching is done in a more visible area like the neck region. It is much better compared to the extensive scarring left by the open surgery system which is ugly.

In open operation, most of the errors associated with the carelessness of the surgeons were reported. In some instances, the patient was reported to have surgical incision blades left on the body organs, and stitching was done. The probability of occurrence of such mistakes is almost zero as the equipment used to have a high precision.

There is a reduced risk of infection when the robotic technique is used. The equipment is sterilized before use there is minimal chances of infecting the open wound during the surgical procedure. This is because the number of people coming into contact with the open wound is low.

In the open surgical technique, there were cases in which the patients died from excessive loss of blood. This called for the need for a blood donor for a blood transfusion. Most of these operations never ended well although some patients managed to survive the encounter. Using this technology has less risk of bleeding as the incisions made are minor ones.

There are numerous other examples such as the minimal pain when using the technology. In addition to that, very few surgical assistants are needed as most of the work is done by the machine.
