First in Russia to the east of Yekaterinburg performed surgery unit Da Vinci. Medical center specialists Palo held robotic resection of the colon and removed a malignant tumor from a patient, informs «Pacific Russia».
Medical Center Palo is not like ordinary hospital. Here in the lobby soars coffee flavor, and technical equipment recalls the paintings of science fiction, but not the usual hospital routine. On the work of the medical robot Da Vinci says center manager Surgery, MD, Professor Cyril Stegniy.
- Using the Da Vinci have done our operations urologists and gynecologists. At the beginning of July 2014 they have conducted 15 operations. But in his surgical practice, we tested recently. This robot is designed specifically for remote perform complex operations. It was invented by the Americans, when there was a war in the Persian Gulf, not to endanger the high quality of medical specialists. Such robots installed in operating aircraft carriers. There support staff introduced the robot arm inside the patient through small incisions centimeter. Further intervention of medical personnel are required. The surgeon was thus very far, for example, in Washington, and operated sitting at workstations equipped with monitor, pedals and joysticks, driving the robot hands via satellite communications.
And now this technique has brought us. It has many advantages over traditional methods of operation. First, it 3D-picture display — volume and sharp image that displays the smallest blood vessels, nerves, lymphatics. Secondly, — tools (scissors, clamps, hooks, etc.) are very small, so that accurate work with fabrics. Robot is convenient to work in confined spaces, his arm has seven degrees of freedom, and can turn anything you like. Since the robot does not need a physician assistant — the car four hands, which are controlled by one person. And besides, it makes minimally invasive surgery — ie without large incisions. In our case, the very next day, the patient went to separate yourself.
American manufacturing company established a single robot learning network that gives admission professionals from around the world to work with these systems. Recently, our specialists surgeons have been trained in this program in Strasbourg. Now there is going to a second group of doctors Medical center. We have seen in practice how effective Da Vinci. And now every week we will increase the number of operations.
Operations on the Da Vinci robot included in the list of high-tech medical care, and performed at the expense of the federal budget.
