Insight On DaVinci Robotic Surgery Houston And Its Merits

By Larry Wright


Nothing could ever scare the prostate cancer patients like the term surgery. The prostate is such a sensitive organ that any operation is bound to be accompanied by various side effects. However, such patients may finally have a sigh of relief upon hearing About the latest surgical technology dubbed the DaVinci robotic surgery Houston technique.

This technological era has led to immense improvement in the field of technology. The robotic surgery dubbed the Davinchi technique is the in thing in the medical field. The equipment is made up of three or four and sometimes even five arms which are directed to a patients incision points. Two of the arms are used as surgeons arms the third is used to remove obstacles while the fourth functions as a camera.

A viewfinder technique is used which provides a three-dimensional simulation field in a computer. Special devices in which numerous motion sensors have been attached are used to control the direction of motion of ones arms. The arms are designed to flatten out any vibration which may occur due to shaking of physicians arms. The flattening improves the precision of these equipment.

This technique is much better as compared to the traditional open surgery technique. There are fewer side effects associated with it. The side effects usually arise when the nerve paths and its endings are tampered with or altered in any way.

The patients who are operated using this technique require a shorter recovery period. In open technique the patients had weakened muscles after the procedures and they are weaker. That forced them to wear then catheter for a longer period. This operation requires only small incisions, so the amount of time spent in pain management significantly reduces.

Once the procedure is done the patient has less, visible scars. Minimal scarring is an advantage especially when stitching is done in a more visible area like the neck region. It is much better compared to the extensive scarring left by the open surgery system which is ugly.

In open operation, most of the errors associated with the carelessness of the surgeons were reported. In some instances, the patient was reported to have surgical incision blades left on the body organs, and stitching was done. The probability of occurrence of such mistakes is almost zero as the equipment used to have a high precision.

As a result of this advancement, the equipment used are more efficient and offers the confidence patients need in regarding to being confident that the operation will be successful. Risks of infections have been reduced which is among the reasons why these procedures are now conducted often than they used to be, before.

There is a marked reduction of blood lost during the operations. In the previous years, some patients have bled to death due to excessive blood loss in the open surgery. Other cases are also reported of further internal bleeding even after the stitching was done.

There are numerous other examples such as the minimal pain when using the technology. In addition to that, very few surgical assistants are needed as most of the work is done by the machine.
