Robot-Assisted Cancer Surgery Unit Launched in Apollo Proton Cancer Centre

The Robotic assisted surgery has its own advantage compared to the open or laparoscopic surgeries. The da Vinci system enables surgeons to perform delicate procedures like rectal cancer, esophageal cancer, gynaecological and prostate cancer surgeries while preserving the nerve fibers and blood vessels surrounding the affected organ. This is because of the enhanced precision and control offered by the system. The superior vision that the robotics field offers enables surgeons to clearly differentiate between tissue planes, and perform precise tumour removal. The da Vinci system allows better cancer clearance, while still preserving the healthy tissue, by scaling the surgeon’s movements.
