Myths About Robotic-assisted Surgery Debunked

Robotic-Assisted Surgery - Myths Debunked

• Robotic-assisted surgery is a minimally invasive
  procedure involving a robotic system controlled
  by a surgeon. Three or four robotic arms perform
  the surgery with specific tools and instruments
  offering higher control and precision. The entire
  set-up is directed by a surgeon seated at a
  console in the operating room.

• Robotics in bariatric procedures offers greater
  accuracy and control. DFW Bariatrics and General
  Surgery is a reputable surgical practice with
  experienced surgeons that are trained to perform
  bariatric robotic-assisted surgery.
• This article addresses some common myths about
  robotic bariatric procedures to help you
  understand the technology and procedure better.
• Myth 1. Robotic-assisted Surgery Laparoscopy
  Are The Same
• Both robotic-assisted surgery and Laparoscopy are
  minimally invasive procedures. In a laparoscopic
  procedure, the surgeon works at the operation
  site with tools and instruments in hand. In
  robotic-assisted surgery, the surgeon uses a
  console and 3D monitor to control the robotic
  arms that perform the surgery. The flexibility
  and range of motion that the robotic arms offer
  is much greater than the handheld instruments
  used in laparoscopy surgery.

• Myth 2. The Surgeon Has No Control Over The
  Procedure
• The surgeon is in complete control of the
  procedure during robotic-assisted surgery. The
  surgeon is present in the operation room and is
  seated at a console that controls the robotic
  arms performing the surgery. The surgery is live
  streamed on a video camera, giving the surgeon a
  view of the operating site. Robotic surgery may
  even often have more control as the surgeon
  controls 4 arms instead of the 2 during
  traditional laparoscopy.
• Myth 3. No to Robotic-assisted Surgery in
  Complicated Cases
• Robotic-assisted surgery is the go-to procedure
  when operating on complicated and high-risk
  cases. The robotic arms offer higher flexibility
  and range of motion compared to a human arm. This
  ensures high precision and lowers the scope for
  errors. There are specific requirements to be a
  candidate for a robotic-assisted procedure. Talk
  to a bariatric robotic-assisted surgery centre
  such as DFW Bariatrics and General Surgery to
  find out if you qualify.

• Myth 4. Any Surgeon Or Team Can Perform A
  Robotic-assisted Surgery
• Robotic-assisted surgeries have a different set
  of tools and controls compared to other minimally
  invasive surgeries. They require specialized
  equipment and trained medical professionals. Only
  an experienced and qualified surgeon can operate
  the console during a robotic-assisted procedure.
  DFW Bariatrics has a team of experienced robotic
  surgeons supported by world-class bariatric
  robotic-assisted surgery tools.
• Wrap Up
• Robotic-assisted surgery is a breakthrough in
  bariatric procedures. Patients looking to undergo
  robotic-assisted surgery will have to meet
  specific criteria to qualify. Talk to experts in
  bariatric robotic-assisted surgery to understand
  the available options for successful weight loss
