Robotic Cancer Surgery in Turkey

What is robotic surgery?

Robotic surgery is a minimally invasive surgical technique performed by inflating the abdominal cavity or chest cavity with gas and inserting ports through small holes of 8-12 millimeters, just like laparoscopic surgeries. Since the skin, subcutaneous tissues, and muscle tissues are cut less, it causes less trauma to the patient.

Differences Between Robotic Surgery and Laparoscopy

While laparoscopic surgery involves 2-dimensional movement, robotic surgery offers a 3-dimensional, 7-axis range of motion and the advantage of higher-quality magnification of the image. In robotic surgery, the surgeon's hand tremors are not transmitted to the patient, allowing for more accurate tissue manipulation.

Which Cancers Can Be Performed By Da Vinci Robotic System?

Robotic surgeries can be applied in the surgical treatment of many diseases within the abdomen and chest cavity, primarily urological cancers such as prostate cancer and kidney cancer. The most common surgeries using robotic surgery worldwide are; prostate cancer, kidney cancer, rectal and other colon cancers, gynecological pathologies, lung cancers, and heart valve pathologies.

In Which Urological Surgery is Robotic Surgery Used?

Urological diseases in which Da Vinci robotic surgery is used;

• Robotic prostate cancer surgery
• Robotic kidney cancer surgeries
• Robotic nephrectomy
• Robotic partial nephrectomy
• Robotic pyeloplasty (ureteropelvic junction stenosis surgery)
• Robotic adrenalectomy (adrenal gland cancer, Cushing's syndrome, Conn's syndrome, pheochromocytoma)
• Robotic prostate adenoma surgery (benign prostatic hyperplasia)
• Robotic retroperitoneal lymph node dissection (testicular cancer surgery)
• Robotic kidney transplant

Robotic Nerve-Sparing Prostatectomy

Robotic nerve-sparing surgery aims to protect patients from the side effects of surgery as much as possible thanks to the precise tissue separation and imaging capabilities of the Da Vinci robot. In this context, one of the most popular surgeries is robotic nerve-sparing prostate cancer surgery. This technique provides advantages in maintaining urinary continence and erection.

Who performs the surgery in robotic surgery?

In robotic surgery, the surgeon, not the robot, performs the operation. The robot is merely a tool. The surgery is under the surgeon's control. The surgeon's hands guide the robotic movements. However, miniature robotic instruments can reach small areas that the surgeon's hand cannot, and the excellent optical magnification system assists the surgeon. It is a safe surgical method.

How is robotic surgery performed?

Just like laparoscopic surgeries, the surgical area is visualized and tissues are separated through small incisions made in the relevant surgical field. Tissues or organs that need to be cut, sutured, or sealed are removed using robotic instruments advanced through these small incisions. These procedures are controlled by a robotic console, and the surgeon is positioned at the console in the same operating room as the patient.
