Robotic oncosurgery is an advanced form of minimally invasive cancer surgery in which the surgeon operates using a robotic surgical system. The robot does not operate on its own—the entire procedure is completely controlled by the surgeon.
The robotic system provides a highly magnified, 3-dimensional view of the surgical area and allows very precise movement of specialised instruments. This can be particularly helpful when operating in narrow or difficult-to-reach areas of the body.
Robotic surgery is a tool in the hands of the cancer surgeon—not a replacement for the surgeon. The aim of cancer surgery remains the same: complete and safe removal of the cancer while preserving normal function whenever possible. The decision to use robotic surgery should therefore be made after proper evaluation by an experienced cancer surgeon.
Compared with conventional open surgery, robotic surgery in appropriately selected patients may offer:
