Robotic surgery is reshaping modern medicine. A combination of robotics and advanced imaging technologies allows surgeons to perform more sophisticated surgeries with precision, flexibility, and control. Surgeries are conducted through smaller incisions, which causes less damage to neighboring tissues. At the forefront of this movement is Liv Hospital, where highly skilled teams utilize robotic systems to offer patients quicker recovery, reduced complications, and optimal results.
Robotics has advanced the non-invasive techniques available to surgeons for the creation of best outcomes by providing new opportunities and capabilities using technology that allows the surgeon to utilise their own inherent instincts along with their surgical experience to create excellent results. The da Vinci robotic system is currently the most popular robotic system due to its advantages in allowing surgeons to use their hands in a much more precise manner, enabling more intricate manipulation and control of surgical tools, all while having an even clearer view of the internal workings of the body. This provides the ability to perform highly intricate and delicate procedures with greater ease than would be possible with traditional minimally invasive methods.
Examples of how robotic-assisted surgical systems may be utilised include but are not limited to procedures that involve the use of stitches to close nerves, removing tumours, reconstructing arteries and vascular systems, and making use of this new technology in various surgical specialties, including urology and gynecology, and heart, general and colon-rectal surgery.
At Liv Hospital, robotic surgery is successfully performed across several medical specialties:
Urology: Prostatectomy (prostate removal), kidney tumor excision, bladder surgery, and ureteral reconstruction.
Gynecology: Hysterectomy for uterine cancer, removal of ovarian cysts or fibroids, and endometriosis surgeries.
Cardiac Surgery: Coronary artery bypass grafting and heart valve repairs with minimal incisions.
General Surgery: Gallbladder removal, hernia repairs, bariatric (obesity) surgery, and cancer resections.
Colorectal Surgery: Surgical treatment of colon and rectal cancers with improved precision and faster healing.
Orthopedic Surgery: Robotic-assisted knee and hip prosthesis surgeries for greater alignment and fewer complications.
The versatility of robotic platforms means they can be adapted for pediatric, thoracic, and even ENT (ear, nose, throat) procedures at advanced surgical centers like Liv Hospital.
Robotic surgery provides significant advantages over both open and conventional surgery:
Greater precision and control: Robotic arms mimic a human wrist’s flexibility, which allows delicate maneuvers even in hard-to-reach areas.
Minimized trauma and blood loss: Tiny incisions lead to less tissue damage, less postoperative pain, reduced blood loss, and a lower risk of wound infection.
Shorter hospital stay and faster recovery: Most patients can return to normal life significantly sooner.
Cosmetically superior results: Small incisions leave less noticeable scars.
Clearer vision for surgeons: 3D, high-definition imaging enhances depth perception and structure identification, reducing the chance of complications.
These benefits make robotic surgery the gold standard for suitable cases, as practiced at Liv Hospital’s Robotic Surgery Center.
At Liv Hospital, the robotic surgery program brings together interdisciplinary teams and the latest generation technologies. The key steps include:
Preoperative assessment: Comprehensive imaging, risk analysis, and planning.
Surgical robotics system: The surgeon sits at a console, viewing a magnified 3D image of the site while controlling robotic arms that move with unrivaled accuracy.
Minimally invasive approach: Instruments are inserted through keyhole incisions, minimizing patient trauma.
Advanced recovery programs: Postoperative care and rehabilitation are tailored to encourage early mobilization and speed healing.
Robotic surgery at Liv Hospital covers general, gynecological, urological, cardiac, orthopedic, and many other specialties. Each procedure is designed for optimal safety, patient satisfaction, and long-term health outcomes.
There are many types of robotic surgeries that will be performed on almost all types of patients (example: patients who wish to have a shorter length of stay in the hospital, less pain, improved cosmetic results). At Liv Hospital we have a team of healthcare providers from various specialties evaluating potential surgical candidates based on their health history and preferences, the complexity of the robotic surgery the patient needs and other health issues. Patients are encouraged to consult their physicians early in order to help determine the best surgical option for them.
Cutting-edge technology: Liv Hospital boasts next-generation robotic systems and internationally recognized surgical expertise.
Comprehensive surgical care: From preoperative evaluation to postoperative rehabilitation, every stage is handled with patient safety in mind.
Multidisciplinary expertise: Surgeons collaborate across specialties for complex cases, offering bespoke care for both adults and children.
Global patient service: Liv Hospital welcomes international patients and supports them before, during, and after their robotic surgical journey.
