Looking for the Robotic Surgeon in Pune

How Does the da Vinci System Work?

At Jupiter Hospital, Robotic Surgery utilises the da Vinci Surgical System, employing small incisions to insert miniature wristed instruments and a high-definition 3D camera into the body. This comprehensive system includes an ergonomically designed surgeon’s console, a patient cart equipped with four interactive robotic arms, a state-of-the-art vision system, and patented EndoWrist instruments. From the comfort of the da Vinci console, the robotic surgeon gains a highly magnified 3D view of the body's interior for precise navigation and operation.

Operating via master controls resembling forceps, the surgeon directs hand, wrist, and finger movements, which the da Vinci system translates into precise actions performed by miniaturised instruments at the patient-side cart. It's crucial to emphasise that throughout the procedure, the robot does not autonomously control the surgery; rather, it assists the surgeon, who maintains full control using the da Vinci robotic platform.

For individuals seeking advanced surgical options, Jupiter Hospital, renowned for its Robotic Surgeries department in Pune, provides the expertise and cutting-edge technology necessary for the successful completion of diverse treatments.

Safety of Robotic Surgery

Introduced over twenty years ago, the da Vinci System has been utilised in tens of thousands of procedures with proven safety and efficacy. Its performance has been extensively documented in hundreds of clinical publications spanning various surgical specialties.

FDA Clearance for the da Vinci System

The da Vinci Surgical System has received clearance from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for a broad spectrum of procedures, encompassing radical prostatectomy, radical cystectomy, partial nephrectomy, diverse gynaecological surgeries, and procedures involving the head and neck.

Cost of Robotic Surgery

Although Robotic Surgery incurs higher costs compared to Laparoscopic surgery, these expenses are balanced by shorter hospital stays, fewer complications, and a reduced need for blood transfusions, ultimately making the overall cost competitive.

Global Use of the da Vinci Robotic Surgical System

The da Vinci Robotic Surgical System is currently in use at hundreds of hospitals globally, including prominent centres in the United States, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Romania, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, Sweden, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, Australia, Turkey, and the Netherlands.

Procedures Performed with the da Vinci Surgical System

The da Vinci Surgical System is a robotic platform engineered to enable complex procedures through small incisions or ports measuring 1-2 cm. This advanced method can be utilised for various surgical procedures, including:

  • Uro-oncology Procedures: Such as Radical Prostatectomy, Radical Cystectomy, and surgeries for kidney and adrenal tumours.
  • Urology Procedures: Including Pyeloplasty and Bladder Augmentation.
  • Gynaecological and Gynec-oncological Procedures: Such as Total Abdominal Hysterectomy, Myomectomy, and Radical Hysterectomy.
  • Head and Neck/ENT Procedures: Such as Thyroidectomies and treatment for oropharyngeal tumours.
  • General Surgical and Thoracic Procedures: Such as Colon and Rectal Cancer Surgery, Liver and Pancreatic Resections, and Obesity Surgeries.
  • Cardiac Surgeries: Including Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery and Mitral Valve Repair.
  • Paediatric Robotic Surgery: Including Pyeloplasty, Ureteric Reimplantation, Appendico-Vesicostomy, Choledochal Cyst Excision and Reconstruction, Duplication Cyst Excision

These procedures use the precision and advantages of robotic technology to improve surgical outcomes.
