Robotic Surgery: Da Vinci XI Robot

Robotic Surgery: Da Vinci XI Robot

Robotic surgery has revolutionized the world of laparoscopy.  If the latter meant the starting point of minimally invasive surgery (surgery with less pain for the patient and a speedier recovery), robotic surgery goes one step beyond: minimally injury-provoking surgery which adds to the already existing advantages of laparoscopy a higher surgery precision and minimal post-op sequels.

Clínica CEMTRO and The Institute for Advanced Surgery in Urology (ICUA) have closed an agreement with one of the world’s leading surgeons to use robotics, Dr. Richard Gastón, who comes to operate at CEMTRO on a monthly basis.

Dr. Richard Gaston and Dr. Fernando Gómez Sancha both lead a strong team of doctors and nurses, all specialized in urology procedures from our Robotic Surgery Unit.

Be-spoken services and a humane approach perfectly describe this multidisciplinary unit.  Our motto: patients must receive careful and excellent attention combined with state-of-the-art techniques which are also efficient and safe.

We follow a comprehensive protocol with each patient, making sure they all receive the necessary time, undergo the most appropriate tests and medical and professional resources as used efficiently so that they receive the best treatment .

We are diligent with our follow up and our quality control during and after surgery to meet success by safeguarding our patients’  health and recovery.

The Robotic Surgery Unit offers patients the most skilled set of hands together with the most advanced technology in the treatment of pathologies such as prostate, bladder or kidney cancer.

Robotic prostate surgery: radical prostatectomy

Robotic prostate surgery has minimized the often feared side effects of operations performed to treat disorders of this organ:  incontinence and impotence.

Radical prostatectomy with robotic surgery is a technique which reduces hospital stay, surgery bleeding and rate of complications, while still ensuring most of the tumor is excised.

Advantages of Robotic Surgery (Robot Da Vinci XI)

• Shorter hospital stay
• Speedier recovery
• Less bleeding
• Minimal incisions
• Fewer post-op complications
• Less post-op pain
• Fewer post-op sequels
• Urinary incontinence unaffected
• Sexual bother and function unaffected

Robotic surgery enables specialists to be more precise and have a better 3D view.  The Da Vinci robot on its own does not guarantee better results for the surgeon who operates it must have the necessary experience working together with a disciplined OR team to support them. It’s all about the robot’s precission with the surgeon’s heart.  Additionally, the latest generation of Da Vinci Robots, the new Da Vinci XI, is the most advanced piece of technology ever made for the treatment of urology cancers (kidney, bladder, prostate).
