ROBOTIC SURGERY
The most advanced robotic systems for maximum surgical precision.
- -Modern urology is increasingly moving away from traditional open operations in favour of more precise robotic interventions
- -Our doctors follow the leading developments in this field, making us the second hospital in Kyiv to have installed the MedBot surgical robot
- -Typically, a robotic surgery system includes an arm with a camera and mechanical arms with surgical instruments attached to them.
- -The surgeon works at a console, and the subtle movements of their hands are transmitted to flexible instruments inside the patient's body with high precision projection of the area where the surgical intervention is performed
- -A 3D laparoscope provides a high-resolution volumetric image of the surgical field, which facilitates work in a limited anatomical space and allows the surgeon to see a clear and magnified intervention area.
- -In our work, we use the MedBot robot
What is the MedBot robot and how is it used:
The MedBot system has received CE certification (European Union) and has over 200 commercial installations worldwide, including telesurgical operations over long distances.
The surgical robot is an alternative surgical method to laparoscopic procedures and is gaining increasing popularity among hospitals around the world
Urological indications in which the robot can be used:
- Radical prostatectomy — the gold standard for treating localised prostate cancer. The robot allows urethral reconstruction in the narrow space of the small pelvis with minimal trauma to the neurovascular bundles, which is critical for preserving urinary continence and erectile function.
- Partial nephrectomy — organ-sparing removal of a kidney tumour while preserving healthy parenchyma.
- Radical nephrectomy — complete removal of the kidney for oncological indications.
Other complex interventions on the organs of the urinary system
- ✓- Fewer complications, such as infection.
- ✓- Less likelihood of pain and significant blood loss.
- ✓- Shorter hospital stay and faster recovery.
- ✓- Smaller or less noticeable scars.
- -Like any surgical intervention, robotic surgery is associated with risks similar to those of traditional open surgery, such as a small risk of infection or other complications.
- -Therefore, to determine whether robotic surgery is right for you, you will receive a consultation from our doctor about the benefits and risks of robotic surgery and which treatment method is best to choose in your particular case.
