In robotic surgery, the surgeon performs the operation from the surgeon's console next to the patient in the operating room, using the arms modeled on the wrist on the patient's console. Known as the Da Vinci Robotic Surgery system, robotic surgery was originally developed to meet the health needs of astronauts.
What is Robotic Surgery?
Thanks to da Vinci Robotic Surgery, which has been applied worldwide since 1997, many operations have been successfully carried out. Robot surgery, which can also be defined as robot-assisted laparoscopic surgery, is a different surgical method that has been successfully applied in addition to open surgery and laparoscopic surgery. As in laparoscopic surgery, the operation in robotic surgery is performed through small channels called ports opened through small incisions.
3D cameras are used in the robotic surgery system. In other words, the da Vinci Robotic Surgery system works with two different cameras, just like the human eye. Thus, the physician perceives the depth in the console, similar to natural vision. Robotic surgery, which can be used in the surgical treatment of diseases belonging to many different specialties such as urology, gynecology, cardiovascular diseases, general surgery, otolaryngology, allows more sensitive interventions to be performed successfully compared to traditional and laparoscopic surgery.
Robotic surgery or other The da Vinci Robotic Surgery system is the most advanced technology of surgical methods. Contrary to popular belief, the operation is not performed by robots, but by robotic arms directed by the surgeon. There are three different parts in robotic surgery: the da Vinci robot, the surgeon's console and the patient's console. The commands given from the surgeon console are simultaneously transferred to the da Vinci robot on the patient console. As in laparoscopic surgery, a small incision is made on the patient's skin in robotic surgery.
Three-dimensional optical imaging system is inserted into the relevant area through the opening created on the skin. Since the imaging device is robot-controlled, it does not vibrate and the surgeon has a realistic three-dimensional vision. Due to the high resolution of the optical imager, the image is approached when the tissue to be operated is approached. there is no deterioration. In other words, the surgeon performing the operation has a much closer and clearer vision than his own eyes can see. Then, the surgeon places the arms that will control the robot arms on the patient console to the patient with the help of the console. Robot arms with fiber optic cables apply precise hand movements made on the dentist's console.
Surgical instruments such as surgical scissors and tissue holders are guided as desired by the surgeon. Robotic arms, which have a rotation angle of 720 degrees, allow movements that are not possible for human hands to be made easily. Small tremors in the surgeon's hands are not reflected in robot-controlled surgical instruments. Thus, the margin of error that can be experienced in surgery is reduced to the lowest possible level.
In Which Diseases Is Robotic Surgery Used?
Robotic surgery can be used in surgeries belonging to many different specialties. The departments and diseases in which the Da Vinci Robotic Surgery system is widely used can be listed as follows:
Robotic Surgery in Urology
The most common usage area of robotic surgery is urology surgeries. Thanks to the da Vinci Robotic Surgery system, which is used in prostate cancer cases, which are especially common in people aged 50 and over, the nerves close to the prostate are protected, so problems such as erectile dysfunction and urinary incontinence are much less common after the operation. It can also be successfully applied in operations related to organs such as kidney, bladder and testis other than prostate. It is higher than the number of surgeries belonging to the urology department. Hysteroscopy, which can be defined as the removal of the uterus, myomectomy known as the removal of fibroids, surgical interventions of the fallopian tubes and sacral hysteropexy, that is, the hanging vagina or uterus hanging up, can also be performed by robotic surgery.
Robotic Surgery in General Surgery
>The robotic surgery system is widely used by general surgery physicians. Robotic surgery is characterized by the outward protrusion of the intestinal wall in the form of a vesicle, especially in colon and rectum cancers. It is widely used in diverticulum surgeries, treatment of inflammatory bowel diseases and rectal surgery. With the robotic surgery system, which is frequently used in obesity surgery performed by the general surgery department, the stomachs of patients with obesity problems can be reduced. In addition, surgical interventions such as bipartition bariatric surgeries, sleeve gastrectomy, gastric bypass can also be performed with robotic surgery. The patient's recovery can be achieved by using surgery. Thanks to robotic surgery, which is widely used in cardiovascular surgery, coronary by-pass surgeries can be performed successfully. It is widely used in the surgical treatment of diseases such as rhythm disorders and heart valve diseases. In robotic surgery, no incision is made on the skin of the person. Therefore, these operations are defined as transoral robotic surgery. Sensitive operations performed in this region, where many nerves and vessels are located, are not performed with 4-armed robots as in other surgical branches, but with 2-armed robots.
What are the Advantages of Robotic Surgery?
In robotic surgery The robot used is located next to the patient console and has 4 separate arms with 7-stage free movement. The ends of these arms, which provide the opportunity to work in extremely narrow spaces, have a system that can rotate 720 degrees, called the endowrist. The optical imaging system used in the Da Vinci Robotic Surgery system provides a real depth perception by transferring separate images to both eyes of the physician.
It provides a detailed view to the physician by magnifying the areas that the physician cannot see with the naked eye, up to 10 times clearly. Thus, narrow anatomical structures can be easily intervened and unwanted injuries during the operation are minimized. The surgical console, on which the system is controlled, allows the physician to sit and work. The surgeon uses the entire robotic system with his hands and feet. Errors that may occur due to involuntary shaking of the human hand, robotic surgery It is close to zero in surgeries performed with
Therefore, robotic surgery offers a comfortable operation to both the patient and the physician. Some of the advantages of the Da Vinci Robotic Surgery system can be listed as follows:
• It does not require large incisions as in open surgeries. The incision sizes are extremely small. This enables the patient to accelerate the healing process.• The risk of infection is low due to the small incision area.• The surgeon's vision is extremely clear and can magnify the image up to 10 times without distortion.• Since the image is 3D, there is depth perception. Thus, operations that require precision can be easily performed.• Robotic arms can rotate at an angle of 720 degrees and do not vibrate. Therefore, the surgeon can work comfortably.• The risk of damage to these structures is reduced as the vessels and nerves are displayed in detail.• Intestinal activities return to normal much faster after the operation.• After the operation, the patient's nutrition regains its former state faster.• The patient's return to his daily life, open It is much faster than surgery.• Physician gets tired less because he works sitting down. Thus, the stress level of the physician decreases during long-lasting operations, while the level of concentration increases.
