Robotic surgery -- the modern surgical treatment of prostate cancer
Abstract
Minimally invasive laparoscopic surgery replaces many open surgery procedures in urology due to its advantages concerning post-operative morbidity. However, the technical challenges and need of learning have limited the application of this method to the work of highly qualified surgeons. The introduction of da Vinci surgical system has offered important technical advantages compared to the laparoscopic surgical procedure. Robot-assisted radical prostatectomy became a largely accepted procedure. It has paved the way for urologists to start other, more complex operations, decreasing this way the operative morbidity. The purpose of this article is to overview the history of robotic surgery, its current and future states in the treatment of the cancer. We present our robot-assisted radical prostatectomy and the results.
Az urológiában a minimálinvazív laparoszkópos sebészet a posztoperatív morbiditás terén mutatott elõnyei miatt számos hagyományos, nyitott eljárás helyébe lépett. Alkalmazása tanulást igényel, egyben technikai kihívást is jelent, így csupán a magasan képzett sebészek munkájára korlátozódik. A da Vinci sebészeti rendszer jelentõs technikai elõnyt kínál a laparoszkópos sebészeti eljáráshoz képest. A robotasszisztált radikális prostatectomia széles körben történõ elfogadása tette lehetõvé az urológusok számára más, komplexebb mûtétek elvégzését, szignifikánsan csökkentve a mûtéti morbiditást. Cikkünk célja a robotsebészet történetének áttekintése, valamint a rák…
