Robotic-Assisted Laparoscopic Surgery

This technology involves the use of a robotic surgical platform – da Vinci surgery – developed by Intuitive Surgical Systems. This system consists of a four-armed robot (one arm controls a high definition camera; the other three arms control instruments), and a console where the surgeon sits to control the robot.  The robotic arms function like human hands, and give the surgeon excellent dexterity, precision, and maneuverability. The surgeon has complete control at all times; the robot is never in control of the surgery.

Complex procedures requiring dissection and reconstruction that are performed include:

• Kidney cancer surgery (Partial nephrectomy and radical nephrectomy)

• Prostate cancer surgery (Radical prostatectomy)

• Reconstruction of the ureter (Ureteropelvic junction obstruction repair –pyeloplasty – a procedure to relieve a blockage in the drainage of the kidney)

• Pelvic organ prolapse (Sacrocolpopexy)
