What is Robotic Radical Prostatectomy?
This procedure is also called Da Vinci Robotic Prostatectomy. It is a minimally invasive surgical removal of prostate which involves the latest advancements in robotics and computer technology. It is a computer-enhanced minimally invasive surgical system consisting of three component: 1. Surgeon Console 2. Surgical Cart 3. Inside Vision System Surgeon’s Console: The Surgeon’s Console consists of the master controls that the surgeon uses in order to manipulate the surgical cart and the EndoWrist instruments. Surgeon’s hand movements are translated to the EndoWrists through the surgeon’s Console. The instruments only move if and only if the surgeon decides to move them. The surgeon is in control of the instruments and not the robot. Inside Vision System: This component provides a 3-D view of the surgical field which is much improved compare to a 2-D view in plain laparoscopic surgery. This translates to a much better visual field, better depth perception. In addition there is 10-15 times
