This is an automatically translated article.

Robotic surgery has become a trend in Korea, with the number of cases per year in 2005 has increased to 16-17 thousand cases / year now. With high safety and accuracy, robotic surgery has solved the limitations of traditional laparoscopic surgery. The following article will help you better understand this method.

1. What is Robotic Laparoscopic Surgery?

Robotic surgery is one of the modern surgical methods with many outstanding advantages such as: Thoroughly dissecting tumors, reducing pain, limiting blood loss, shortening hospital stay, especially ensuring Beauty. Therefore, this method is increasingly used in developed countries.

2. Robotic laparoscopic surgery for which diseases?

Surgical robots are used in the treatment of many diseases. They have become routine for typical diseases such as:
Surgery for prostate tumors Lung, stomach, liver (cancerous) Tumor removal mediastinal, uterine tumor Cardiovascular surgery Thoracic surgery Surgical treatment common bile duct cysts Congenital megacolon surgery Hydronephrosis surgery Biliary atrophy surgery Coronary artery bypass surgery Resection malignancy surgery Heart valve correction Osteoarthritis surgery Nervous system surgery Disease functional nerve

3. Advantages of robotic laparoscopic surgery

Adopt intelligent technology for high accuracy

Surgical robot fully equipped with intelligent camera for clear 3D image, surgical arm and wide viewing angle can operate on body areas that doctors cannot perform. Today's robots are researched and developed surgical arms that are more flexible and agile than the wrists of surgeons.
Doctors monitor the endoscope image through 3D camera and control arm mounted lever. Modern surgical technology from robots will make surgery for patients safer and more accurate. The cuts and burns are very quick and gentle.

Precise manipulation helps reduce risks for patients after surgery

At the same time, the use of surgical robots also helps patients reduce complications and complications after surgery with a higher rate than laparoscopic surgery with other techniques. The patient's recovery time is faster.

Bring high aesthetics

Robotic laparoscopic surgery also leads to small incisions, quick healing and no large scars. Patients can be completely assured about the aesthetics after surgery.

4. Vinmec Times City is one of the first hospitals to use robotic surgery

With these outstanding advantages, robotic surgery is increasingly used in developed countries. As one of the first four hospitals in Vietnam to deploy robotic surgery, Vinmec Times City is equipped with the world's leading modern machinery and equipment system. Among them are the Da Vinci robots made in the United States. This is an advanced robot, with a sophisticated and modern structure, with 4 arms that almost perfectly simulate human hand movements, meeting the needs of surgery with the highest requirements.
Thanks to these properties, surgical robots can penetrate narrow, deep and hard to reach locations, solving the limitations of classical open and laparoscopic surgery. With outstanding advantages: Safety, minimizing the risk of complications and surgical infection, pain relief, less blood loss, fast recovery, ensuring aesthetics, the robot can be used for most surgeries. cases must be treated with endoscopic methods especially in cancer treatment.

Deploying robotic surgery from the end of 2017 up to now, Vinmec has operated on over 40 robotic surgeries to treat a number of gynecological diseases, cervical cancer, urinary cancer, colorectal cancer, and stomach cancer. with a success rate of over 95%. Up to now, Vinmec is the first and only medical system in Vietnam that has successfully deployed robotic surgery. Robotic surgery center is one of many steps of Vinmec Medical System, aiming to turn Vinmec Times City into a leading modern surgical center in Vietnam. Vinmec is successfully combining traditional surgical treatment with high technology, enhancing recovery after surgery, helping to effectively treat complex diseases.
