DA VINCI POBOTIC PROSTATECTOMY

 

Da Vinci Robotic Prostatectomy (also known as Robotic Assisted Prostatectomy) has recently gained popularity as the most advanced method of performing laparoscopic prostatectomy. This minimally invasive procedure coined its name from the Da Vinci© Robot, which is manufactured by “Intuitive Surgical.”  The Robot combines the latest achievements in medical technology and laparoscopy including: 

 

Ergonomically designed surgeon’s console. While sitting comfortably at console, the surgeon operates viewing a 3-D color image of the surgical field.

 

Patient-side cart with three or four interactive robotic arms (two or three instrument arms and one endoscope arm) that execute the surgeon's commands through the key-hole incisions in the patient abdomen. Surgical team members assist the surgeon by properly installing the Endowrist instruments.

 

High-performance InSite® Vision System with high-resolution 3-D endoscope provides real-time 3-D images of the operative field, with magnification of 12-15 times. This advanced technology spares nerves and delicate tissues during the operation, which plays an important role in patients’ fast recovery.

 

Proprietary EndoWrist® Instruments - the instruments are designed with seven degrees of motion that mimic the movements of the human hand and wrist. All movements of the surgeon hands are translated into precise movements with micro-instruments.
