Robotic surgery is a type of laparoscopic surgery facilitated by the use of a machine that miniaturizes the natural movements of the surgeon and allows for greater vision and precision.
The da Vinci robot is the most widely used system in the world for surgery. It consists of a robot that works directly on the patient, carrying in its arms a high definition camera and highly specialized tools.
This robot is controlled by a surgeon sitting at a console that is connected to the system. The robot can not do anything by itself; it simply works as an extension of the surgeon.
Have studies been done on robotic surgery?
Robotic surgery has had years of validation worldwide. Studies of safety and its benefits have been performed, however, in particular cases, complications can occur-as is inherent in all surgery-but, in general, complications are fewer than in open surgery.
Clinica Las Condes: Clinica Las Condes Robotic Surgery Center incorporates high standards of quality and safety. In addition, surgeons have followed a training track reminiscent of airline pilots in addition to a series of theoretical courses, virtual simulation and monitoring procedures.
