Phẫu thuật tiết niệu bằng robot

Robotic urologic surgery is a minimally invasive procedure that employs robotic technology to address and treat a number of urological conditions, including cancer. Phẫu thuật robot can be utilised to carry out several urinary procedures, such as prostatectomy (removal of all or part of the prostate gland), nephrectomy (removal of all or part of the kidney), and cystectomy (removal of all or part of the bladder). This robotic technique can also be used to reconstruct the renal pelvis (pyeloplasty), and reimplant the ureters (ureteral implantation).

With its innovative technology, robotic urologic surgery in Singapore has transformed healthcare, allowing patients to experience many benefits along with fewer complications and shorter recovery times.

Here are some of the key Lợi ích của phẫu thuật robot:

• Safe and effective (enhanced freedom of movement to facilitate the surgery)
• Less post-operative pain (minimally invasive procedure)
• Smaller scars (due to keyhole-sized incisions)
• Shorter hospital stays

The three most commonly performed robotic urologic surgeries are radical prostatectomy, partial nephrectomy, and pyeloplasty. Radical prostatectomy is a procedure performed to remove all or part of the prostate gland. This is typically carried out to treat prostate cancer. Partial nephrectomy is essentially a kidney-sparing surgery that involves removing a portion of the kidney. This procedure is beneficial in treating kidney cancers and improving the function of the kidneys.

Robotic pyeloplasty, on the other hand, is commonly used to repair ureteropelvic junction obstructions (UPJ). This minimally invasive phẫu thuật robot is as effective as conventional open surgeries but with smaller incisions and shorter recovery periods. A robotic surgery expert like Tiến sĩ Terence Lim, who has years of experience in handling robotic surgeries, will be able to perform this procedure with enhanced precision and control.

Dr Lim has operated on all three generations of the da Vinci Robotic Surgical System and has been involved in over 700 robotic surgeries! He was also the first urologist in Singapore to perform a robot-assisted Retzius-sparing Prostatectomy. Furthermore, he previously served as a Director at the Changi General Hospital’s Advanced Surgical Centre, which is a committee that deals with complex surgeries, including phẫu thuật robot. Although he is now the Medical Director of Trung tâm tiết niệu & robot đảm bảo, he is frequently asked to proctor his colleagues and subordinates for his phẫu thuật robot expertise.

With more freedom of movement and a magnified operative field, phẫu thuật robot offers enhanced dexterity and precision. These benefits can result in enhanced outcomes for certain laparoscopic surgeries, especially complex ones that require the reconstruction of tissues or organs.

According to a systematic review of 50 studies conducted on robotic-assisted surgery, it was observed that 39 studies showed fewer complications with robotic surgery in comparison to laparoscopic surgery. In addition, as per the findings of the 2015 study conducted by Chandra et al., phẫu thuật robot increased the success rates of partial nephrectomy by 52%.
