Robotic Surgery
Men with prostate cancer had few options for prostate surgery until recently. In the past, the only option for prostate surgery was open prostatectomy, which required large incisions and had side effects afterwards. The entire cancerous prostate was removed with this procedure, which carries the risk of excessive blood loss, post-operative infections, lengthy hospital stays, and significant pain. Due to the severing of the delicate plexus of nerves around the prostate gland during open prostatectomy, patients often lost control of their bladder and sexual function after prostate surgery.
Recent breakthroughs in medical surgical technology have had a significant impact on prostate cancer treatment and prostatectomy. The da Vinci Surgical System, which is made by Intuitive Surgical, is the most well-known robotic prostatectomy procedure that is currently available. As a less traumatic and more minimally invasive treatment for prostate cancer, robotic prostatectomy is gaining popularity. Many of the drawbacks of open and laparoscopic prostatectomy can now be overcome with the da Vinci robotic prostatectomy.
The procedure known as robotic prostatectomy makes use of precisely controlled robotic instruments to carry out the prostatectomy in a secure manner while also improving the recovery and outcome of the patient. The surgeon performs robotic prostatectomy by controlling a device that consists of micro-surgical instruments and high-resolution cameras while seated at the Va Vinci surgical console. His hand movements are scaled, filtered, and seamlessly translated into the precise movement of the endo wrist instruments thanks to cutting-edge robotic technology.
Da Vinci Surgical System instruments used in robotic prostatectomy can turn in any direction, with 90 degrees of articulation and 7 degrees of freedom, unlike those used in laparoscopic surgery. When performing robotic prostate surgery, the da Vinci robot gives the surgeon better visualization, dexterity, and precision than open or laparoscopic surgery does. It also makes it possible to operate through incisions that are anywhere from one to two centimetres wide. This enables surgeons to perform precise computer-controlled movements and a robotic prostate that is more precise and minimally invasive.
Dr. Amit Ghosh is one of the best urologist and robotics uro-surgeon in Kolkata. After his return from the UK, he has been associated with various institutions including Wockhardt Hospital and Kidney Institute, Woodlands Hospital, Kothari Medical Center and Anandalok Hospital. Currently he is dedicated to his service to Apollo Gleneagles Hospitals, Kolkata. Currently he has developed a very well established and robust Urological presence in the campus of Apollo Gleneagles Hospitals, Kolkata. The practice takes care of all fundamental general Urological procedures, a vast multi-disciplinary Uro Oncology specialty, and also a comprehensive diagnostic and uro health check-up facility.
