Does the robot come to the "master knife" for kidney cancer surgery?

The first robotic partial nephrectomy in the Department of Urology of the Provincial People's Hospital was successfully completed on May 31, and the patient is now recovering well.

At the recent physical examination of Mr. Zhou, a 40-year-old securities company employee, CT showed that his left kidney had a shadow and was diagnosed as kidney cancer by the director of urology, Wang Zengjun. "Patients are younger, have better physical fitness, and the condition is not serious. It is more appropriate to choose surgical treatment." Wang Zengjun said that robot-assisted surgical methods have precise operation, less trauma, less blood loss, faster postoperative recovery, etc. The advantage, so decided to perform minimally invasive surgery. The reporter saw in the operation room that when the robot was performing the operation, the surgeon's hands did not need to touch the patient, and only needed to operate at the remote console to guide the robot arm to complete the cutting, hemostasis and suturing. During the operation, the surgeon can also communicate with the assistant physician through the console microphone to ensure safe operation. Wang Zengjun introduced that robot-assisted surgery is mainly used in urology for radical prostatectomy, partial nephrectomy, and total cystectomy. The surgical method is more elaborate than the laparoscope, which can increase the angle of view and reduce the operator's hand vibration. It has a more flexible operating arm than the laparoscope, and the suturing is quicker and simpler. Through data transmission, doctors can also perform surgery on patients in different places, greatly improving the success rate of surgery.

Gu Min, deputy director of the Provincial People's Hospital, said that the hospital is equipped with the third-generation Da Vinci surgical robot, which has the advantages of clear image quality, light design of the surgical arm and fast fiber connection speed. Previously, the hospital has successfully used surgical robots to assist in the surgical treatment of diseases related to the pancreas and stomach.
