Description

Robotic radical cystectomy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that is performed using a robotic surgical system. It is similar to the traditional open surgery, but instead of making a large incision in the abdomen, the surgeon makes several small incisions and uses a robotic system to control the surgical instruments. During the procedure, the surgeon sits at a console near the patient and uses a computer to control the robotic arms that hold the surgical instruments. The surgeon also has a 3D view of the surgical site, which allows for greater precision and accuracy during the procedure. The benefits of robotic radical cystectomy over traditional open surgery include: Smaller incisions: Robotic surgery requires smaller incisions, which can lead to less pain and scarring, and a shorter recovery time. Greater precision: The robotic system allows for greater precision and accuracy during the procedure, which can reduce the risk of complications and improve outcomes. Shorter hospital stay: Patients who undergo robotic surgery may be able to leave the hospital sooner than those who undergo traditional open surgery. Reduced blood loss: Robotic surgery may result in less blood loss during the procedure, which can reduce the need for blood transfusions. However, robotic radical cystectomy is still a major surgery that carries risks and requires a significant recovery period. Patients should discuss the risks and benefits of robotic surgery with their healthcare provider to determine if it is the best option for their individual needs.
