7 Reasons Robotic Surgery is the Optimal Choice for Partial Nephrectomy in Kidney Cancer Treatment

Currently, 70-80% of small renal cancers are detected incidentally. However, the introduction of robotic surgery has significantly transformed treatment options, particularly for partial nephrectomy. Here are five reasons why robotic surgery is the optimal choice for treating kidney cancer:

1. Precision and Accuracy

Robotic surgery offers unparalleled precision, which is crucial when removing part of the kidney while preserving healthy tissue. Using robotic arms controlled by the surgeon, the procedure is more accurate, minimizing damage to surrounding organs. This reduces complications and speeds up recovery.

2. Minimally Invasive

One of the key advantages of robotic surgery is its ability to minimize invasiveness, leading to smaller incisions and reduced damage to surrounding tissues. Small incisions are made, reducing the risk of infections and significantly cutting down recovery time. Patients often experience less pain, leading to quicker returns to normal activities.

3. Faster Kidney Function Recovery

Kidney function restoration is faster and way better following robotic surgery than to that achieved with laparoscopic or open surgery methods.

4. Reduced Blood Loss

Robotic surgery enhances the surgeon's ability to operate with greater control, reducing blood loss during the procedure. Less bleeding means fewer transfusions and a lower risk of complications, which is especially important for cancer patients.

5. Enhanced Visualization

The robotic system provides high-definition 3D imaging, allowing surgeons to view the kidneys in greater detail. This helps the surgeon navigate complex areas of the kidney with better visibility, ensuring more successful outcomes, even in challenging cases.

6. Intra-operative Ultrasonography

Only a few centers in India offer this advanced facility with the Da Vinci robotic system. We are equipped with a state-of-the-art ultrasound machine (BK) featuring a tiny dropping probe. This probe is placed on the abdomen, allowing real-time assessment of the tumor's size, location, depth, blood supply to the kidney, and its complexity. This cutting-edge technology provides surgeons with real-time images, enhancing precision and improving oncological outcomes by reducing the rate of positive surgical margins.

7. 3D-Reconstruction of Kidney Tumour

We have this advanced imaging facility, which provides a 3-dimensional map of the tumor and its relation to the kidney. In simple terms, it’s like a Google Map for the operating surgeon.
