The future of surgery today

When speaking of robotic surgery is common that people imagine that it's a surgery performed only by a robot, but is not the case. According to Mark Dylewski, thoracic surgeon who practices operations assisted by robot, robotic surgery uses a computer to control a device that turns into the hands of the surgeon

"Every movement, every action carried out by the instruments, is controlled by the surgeon through a computer and a console", explained the surgeon of Baptist Health South Florida.

Said that people should not fear this type of intervention: you just have to imagine that the hands of the doctor have shrunk to a thousand times smaller. "Robotic instruments that we move with the same movements that would make the human hand in the surgical process", aimed.

Procedure
Dylewski stated that this type of operation is simple, when the surgeon u000ainserted his hand in the scan console uses her dolls to move to.

This is a very soft and smooth surgery. Although the surgeon may tremble during the process, the robot No.

That is why it is impossible not to cut, or use the instruments successfully, said the specialist.

"Through Robotics specialist can carry out operations which require great skill and care.

There are interventions that are risky with open surgery and with Robotics can be made with fewer risks", stated.

Important thing is that this type of surgery allows the surgeon: get to make tiny insertions, operate through a small hole; the operation is more feasible than open surgery; primary must know the surgeon is the area that will put the robot so that it allows you to perform the same movements as if surgery opened.

One of the advantages for robotics u000acompared to traditional laparoscopic surgery is that the doctor must not make the moves in the opposite direction to as seen in the screen

"Knowledge which has a surgeon can duplicate using the robot.

Your doctor who knows sewing to open surgery cose equal through the robot", noted surgeon chest.

Noted that in robotics program the computer to make the correct movement. "The great advantage is the ease provided, making this more complete surgeries can be." "I have seen cases of patients who do not can be open surgery and thanks to this new method have been able to operate", said. According to him, the most common robotic surgeries are the prostate, gynecological and pulmonary.

For those who think that Robotics will replace in the future the doctor, Dylewski assured that the robot will never know what kind of fabric cut, is a u000ainstrument that only does what suggest you.

Advantages for the patient
"robotic surgery is a new practice, since in 2002 was that it was implemented, but in 2009 when began to be used for surgeries that were not heart", said Anthony Gonzalez, surgeon specializing in bariatric procedure of Baptist Health South Florida.

According to Gonzalez, thanks to robotic patient recovery is faster and the surgery is smaller, i.e. There is no will open both to the patient.

"The Bariatric has benefited mainly the fatter patients." "Also that they have or have had to undergo surgery for more than one occasion," said the specialist.

Dylewski and Siguenza offered this information within the framework of the Conference on robotic surgery offered by Baptist Health South Florida at the Hotel Hilton de Santo Domingo.

Preparation u000aSpecial medical
for your Bariatric surgeon Anthony Gonzalez, Robotics is not a risky process, as any operation has its risk and the robot does not add more; however, he stressed that the surgeon needs to be prepared.

"Have to take courses, practice with animals to gain the necessary experience, then we must perform surgery under the supervision of a physician with experience in this type of intervention, and then the supervisor decides if the medical practitioner is prepared to do this type of surgery," concluded.
