What GI surgeries can be performed using robotic technology?
Robotic technology can be used for various GI surgeries, including:
- Esophageal surgery: Robotic systems can be used for procedures such as esophagectomy (removal of the esophagus), anti-reflux surgery, and esophageal myotomy for achalasia.
- Gastric surgery: Robotic-assisted gastrectomy (removal of part or all of the stomach) can be performed using robotic GI surgery techniques.
- Colorectal surgery: Robotic systems are utilized for procedures like colectomy (removal of part or all of the colon), rectal resection, and rectopexy.
- Hepatobiliary surgery: Robotic-assisted procedures can include liver resection, gallbladder removal, and biliary reconstruction.
- Pancreatic surgery: Robotic technology can be employed for pancreatic resections, including Whipple procedure, distal pancreatectomy, and robotic-assisted pancreaticoduodenectomy.
How does robotic GI surgery work?
Robotic GI surgery involves the use of a surgical robot, which consists of robotic arms equipped with specialized surgical instruments. The surgeon controls the robot from a console, where they operate using hand and foot controls. The robot translates the surgeon's movements into precise actions of the robotic arms, allowing for highly accurate and controlled surgical maneuvers.
