Dr. Somashekhar S.P., Lead Consultant in Surgical, Gynecological Oncology and Robotic Surgery and a super specialist in HIPEC and PIPAC shares insights about the benefits of robotic surgery in cancer treatment.
Traditional surgery vs Robotic surgery
Traditional cancer surgery is a major surgery that causes a lot of pain and requires a long recovery time. Robotic surgery is a minimally invasive surgery that uses a computer-controlled robotic arm. The advantages of robotic surgery include: quicker surgeries, more precise surgeries, less pain, faster recovery, and ability to go home the same day. Dr. Somashekar specifies the types of cancer that can be treated with robotic surgery including colorectal cancer, prostate cancer, uterine cancer, esophageal cancer and lung cancer.
