Is your condition causing frequent pain and distress?
Robotic Surgery offers a cutting-edge solution, ensuring precise treatment with minimal discomfort, faster recovery, and a quicker return to your active, pain-free lifestyle.
Robotic surgery, also known as robot-assisted surgery, is a cutting-edge medical technology where surgeons use a robotic system to perform complex procedures with enhanced precision, flexibility, and control. Unlike traditional surgical techniques, robotic surgery allows for minimally invasive operations through small incisions, guided by high-definition 3D imaging and robotic arms controlled by the surgeon.
The robotic system translates the surgeon's hand movements into precise micro-movements, enabling intricate procedures in hard-to-reach areas of the body. This advanced technology minimizes human error, enhances accuracy, and improves patient outcomes.
Dr. Hrishikesh, a pioneer in robotic surgery in Mumbai, specializes in utilizing this state-of-the-art technique for a variety of procedures, ensuring reduced recovery times, minimal scarring, and excellent surgical outcomes.
Robotic surgery uses robotic arms controlled by the surgeon to perform precise movements. Compared to traditional surgery, it involves smaller incisions, less blood loss, reduced pain, and a quicker recovery time.
Yes, robotic surgery is highly safe when performed by an experienced surgeon like Dr. Hrishikesh. The technology provides unparalleled precision, and the surgeon is in full control at all times.
Robotic surgery is versatile and can be used for a wide range of procedures, including:
- Bariatric Surgery
- Hernia Repairs
- Gastrointestinal Surgeries - e.g cholecystectomy, anti-reflux surgery etc.
- Gynecological Surgeries
- Urological Surgeries (e.g., prostatectomy)
- Oncological Procedures
Robotic surgery employs a specialized system consisting of three main components:
Yes, robotic surgery is minimally invasive, requiring only small incisions, which lead to quicker recovery and minimal scarring.
The duration depends on the complexity of the procedure but is generally comparable to traditional surgeries, with the added benefit of reduced recovery time.
No, robotic surgery is performed under general anesthesia to ensure you are comfortable and pain-free throughout the procedure.
Compared to traditional open surgery, robot-assisted surgery offers:
- Less pain during recovery
- Lower risk of infection
- Reduced blood loss
- Shorter hospital stay
- Smaller scars
- Early return to work
For the surgeon, robotic surgery provides:
- Greater range of motion with robotic arms
- Enhanced magnified views of the surgical area
Yes, studies show that robotic surgery leads to less pain, faster recovery, and smaller scars compared to traditional open surgeries.
While it’s versatile, not all surgeries are suitable for robotic assistance. Your surgeon will assess if it’s the right choice based on your medical needs.
Some limitations include:
- Availability only in centers with robotic systems and trained surgical teams
- Slightly longer operating times compared to traditional laparoscopic surgery
No, it’s only available in centers equipped with robotic systems and staff trained to operate them.
In some cases, such as when there are complications or scarring from previous surgeries, robotic surgery may need to be converted to traditional surgery.
The small incisions required for robotic surgery lead to less trauma to the body, reducing recovery time and minimizing scarring.
Since robotic surgery is minimally invasive, the risk of infection is significantly lower compared to traditional open surgery.
Robot-assisted surgery is particularly beneficial for abdominal and thoracic surgeries. Some of the most common procedures include:
No, robotic surgery is most commonly used for abdominal and thoracic procedures. Your surgeon will assess whether robotic surgery is appropriate for your condition.
Not necessarily. Robotic surgery offers unique advantages for certain procedures but may not be suitable for all cases. Your surgeon will guide you through the best options for your condition.
In some cases, depending on the type of surgery, your surgeon may recommend physical therapy to ensure full recovery and to improve mobility.
Most patients can resume light activities within a few days to a week after robotic surgery. Your surgeon will provide specific guidance based on the procedure and your individual recovery.
Most patients can resume light activities within a week and return to normal routines in 2-4 weeks, depending on the procedure.
In most cases, dietary adjustments are not required, but your surgeon will provide specific guidance based on your procedure.
Following your surgeon’s post-operative care instructions, attending follow-up appointments, and engaging in light physical activity as advised will ensure a smooth recovery.
Recovery time varies based on the procedure but is generally much shorter compared to traditional surgery. Most patients can mobilize soon after the anesthesia wears off.
Follow your surgeon’s aftercare instructions, attend all follow-up appointments, and avoid strenuous activity for the first few weeks after surgery.
In general, recovery from robotic surgery is much shorter compared to traditional surgery. Depending on the procedure type and your overall health, you may experience the following:
- Mobilize out of bed shortly after the anesthesia wears off.
- Eat and drink within a few hours of the surgery.
- Go home the same day or the next day.
Patients often find themselves with fewer post-surgical complications, reduced pain, and a quicker return to daily activities compared to traditional methods.
