During a Robotic-assisted surgery, your surgeon operates from a nearby console instead of directly standing over you as in traditional surgery. The procedure typically involves the following steps:

1. Your surgeon creates small incisions in your body, typically measuring one to two centimeters.
2. Miniature robotic instruments and a high-quality camera are then inserted into your body by the surgeon.
3. Your surgeon takes a seat at the nearby console, where a magnified view of the surgical site with exceptional resolution is displayed.
4. From the console, your surgeon manipulates the controls, which accurately translate into precise movements within your body in real-time.
5. The robotic instruments possess enhanced dexterity and a broader range of motion compared to a human, enabling your surgeon to successfully perform intricate surgeries in challenging-to-access areas.

Robotic-assisted surgery presents numerous advantages, which include:

1. Reduced pain and scarring: The smaller incisions employed in robotic-assisted surgery result in decreased pain and scarring compared to traditional open surgery.
2. Shorter hospital stays: Patients undergoing robotic-assisted surgery typically have shorter hospital stays in comparison to those undergoing traditional open surgery.
3. Quicker recovery times: The use of smaller incisions and limited tissue damage in robotic-assisted surgery can contribute to faster patient recovery compared to traditional open surgery.
4. Enhanced precision and accuracy: The robotic instruments utilized in these procedures offer superior precision and accuracy, surpassing the capabilities of a surgeon’s hands. This enables the performance of delicate and intricate procedures with greater efficacy.
5. Reduced risk of complications: Robotic-assisted surgery, being less invasive than traditional open surgery, carries a lower risk of complications such as infections and bleeding.
6. Improved visualization: The utilization of a high-definition 3D camera in robotic-assisted surgery provides enhanced visualization of the surgical site, leading to more accurate and precise procedures.

Overall, robotic-assisted surgery provides a multitude of benefits when compared to traditional open surgery, making it an appealing option for many patients.

Proficiency in performing robotic surgery requires specific training and expertise, and not every doctor possesses the necessary skills. However, with the appropriate training, any doctor can master the Robotic Surgical System. At NYGSE, we prioritize our patients’ well-being and strive to provide a positive experience.

Our surgeons have made significant investments in training, ensuring that our robotic surgeons, as well as the entire surgical team, are well-prepared.

Robotic surgery is deemed safe when carried out by a proficient and well-trained surgeon. Nonetheless, akin to any surgical procedure, there are inherent risks involved, including the possibility of bleeding, infection, or complications related to anesthesia. Nevertheless, research indicates that robotic surgery may exhibit lower rates of complications and expedited recovery times compared to traditional surgery, particularly for specific procedures.

It is crucial to recognize that the safety of robotic surgery is contingent upon various factors, such as the patient’s overall health and the complexity of the operation. Therefore, it is essential for patients to consult their surgeon and engage in a comprehensive discussion regarding the potential benefits and risks associated with robotic surgery. This collaborative conversation will assist in determining whether robotic surgery is the most suitable option for their specific circumstances.

The Robotic System integrates an internal camera that captures real-time images from inside your body and transmits them to your surgeon at the console. The images viewed by your surgeon through the Robotic System offer greater magnification and enhanced resolution compared to what they would perceive while physically positioned over you.

The duration of the recovery period following surgery can differ for each patient, making it crucial to engage in a detailed discussion with your doctor regarding your specific case. Typically, patients may expect to stay in the hospital for one to two nights before being released to return home. In general, patients can anticipate a complete recovery within six weeks following the surgery.

At NYGSE, our utmost priority is to prioritize the effective management of pain following surgical procedures, including robotic surgery. Our dedicated team conducts comprehensive research on pain management techniques, guaranteeing that your pain is sufficiently addressed throughout every stage of the surgical process—from preoperative to intraoperative and postoperative periods. We acknowledge that pain may persist even after your hospital discharge, and therefore, we will work closely with you to develop a personalized pain treatment plan to effectively manage your pain at home.

At NYGSE, we understand that undergoing robotic surgery can be an intimidating and anxiety-inducing experience. To ensure your comfort and peace of mind, we assemble teams that are specifically designed to cater to your unique requirements.

Our experienced robotic surgeons will offer unwavering support during this challenging period and address any apprehensions or questions you may have. We are fully committed to meeting your individual needs and exceeding your expectations throughout your surgical journey.
