What is da Vinci Robotic Surgery?
Da Vinci robotic surgery is a state-of-the-art surgical procedure, in which the conventional laparoscopic technique is combined with high-precision robotic technology thanks to the 4 robotic arms that are comfortably commanded by the surgeon from the surgical console and also using an image Immersive 3D high definition.
What are the advantages of da Vinci robotic surgery?
Da Vinci robotic surgery offers significant advantages. Some of them are specific for each surgery and others are general, among them we highlight:
-
Minor or no incisions
-
Less post-operative pain
-
Faster recovery
-
Less bleeding and lower transfusion rate
-
Lower complication rate
