FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1. What are the benefits of laparoscopy and robotic surgery?

Laparoscopy and robotic surgery offer several advantages over traditional open cancer surgery, including:

 

• Reduced pain and discomfort
• Minimal blood loss and fewer transfusions
• Lower risk of complications
• Shorter hospital stays
• Reduced infection risk
• Faster recovery and return to daily activities.

Q2. What is robotic cancer surgery?

Robotic cancer surgery, performed using the "Da Vinci" robot, is a minimally invasive procedure. The surgeon operates from a monitor displaying HD images of internal organs and controls robotic arms inserted through small incisions.

Q3. Is robotic surgery painful?

Robotic surgery is painless during the procedure due to anesthesia. Post-surgery, discomfort is usually mild and managed with pain medication.

Q4. What is laparoscopy cancer surgery?

Laparoscopy and robotic cancer surgery, also called Minimal Access Surgery (MACS), are minimally invasive procedures used mainly for early-stage cancers. A small incision is made to insert a laparoscope, an instrument with an attached camera that provides clear images of internal organs on an external monitor, avoiding the large cuts of open surgery.
