What Is Robotic Surgery?

The Advantages of Robotic Surgery

Robotic surgery provides numerous advantages over classic open surgery and laparoscopy.

1. Millimetric Precision and Tremor-Free Movement

The robotic arms eliminate the natural tremor in the human hand. This makes it possible to protect the nerves, especially in prostate

operations.

2. 3D HD ImagingThe surgeon sees the operating area in three dimensions, magnified 10 to 15 times.

This

• allows the cancer tissue to be removed more clearly,
• and the surrounding tissues to be better protected.

3. Less Bleeding and Less Pain

Thanks to minimally invasive incisions, less trauma occurs during the operation.

Patients experience much less pain after the operation.

4. Faster Recovery Process

• Patients who undergo surgery with robotic surgery:
• Stay in the hospital for a shorter time,
• Return to daily life faster,
• Have much smaller scars aesthetically.

5. Advantage in Functional Results

Especially after robotic radical prostatectomy (robotic prostate cancer surgery):

The faster return of urinary continence functions,

and the preservation of sexual functions

are among the most important advantages of robotic surgery.

In Which Diseases Is Robotic Surgery Used?

Prof. Dr. Abdulmuttalip Şimşek performs robotic surgery with high success especially in the following

operations:

• Robotic Prostate Cancer Surgery (Robotic Radical Prostatectomy)

In prostate cancer, superior functional results are achieved with nerve-sparing techniques.

• Robotic Partial Nephrectomy (Kidney-Sparing Surgery in Kidney Tumors)

Only the tumor is removed, and healthy kidney tissue is preserved.

• Robotic Ureter and Bladder Surgeries

It provides high precision in ureteral strictures, bladder tumors, and reconstructive operations.

• Robotic Urological Reconstruction Surgeries

Complex repairs in narrow areas can be performed more safely with the robotic system.
