From Consultation To Recovery: Your Journey With Da Vinci Xi Robotic Surgery

 

You may suffer from varying medical conditions during your entire lifetime, no matter your age group. While some conditions are easy to treat with medications or other alternative treatment methods, many others require surgery. With that, you might have a constant fear of complications or results of a major surgery. However, this is not the scenario if you are undergoing Da Vinci robot-assisted surgery.

Many people in this era are undergoing robotic surgery which involves the use of the Da Vinci Xi robot. If you are also suffering from a medical condition requiring surgery for treatment, it is good to know about robotic surgery and its benefits.

Planning before the surgery  

You must talk to your surgeon before undergoing the surgery and ensure that you are eligible for Da Vinci robotic surgery. You must ask for any instructions from the doctor and if you need to follow a particular diet or lifestyle for the time being.

 

●     The healthcare team will provide some instructions that you must follow before and after the procedure.

●     Know the necessary arrangements you need to make to go home after the surgery.

●     Ask what activities you can perform after the surgery.

●     You must ask regarding your stay at the hospital and the length of the stay.

 

During the surgery

The surgeon will ask the anaesthesiologist to give anaesthesia to you so you do not experience pain and discomfort during the surgery. The anesthesiologist will administer the anaesthesia and you will be asleep during the procedure.

The surgeon will use the Da Vinci Xi surgical system to make multiple small incisions on the target area. This is better than giving a long incision as it might leave a scar after the surgery.

The surgeon will introduce the robotic arms of the surgical system into the body through these incisions. He or she will control the movement of these arms with the help of a console attached to the computer.

The surgeon can obtain a 3-D view of the inner body structures on the computer in real-time. This helps him or her guide the movements of the robotic arms and remove a part of or the entire organ precisely. The arms of the Da Vinci surgical robot remove the organ or a part of it through the smaller incisions without causing any damage to the surrounding tissues.

The surgeon will then come to you and close the target area bearing the incisions with the help of sutures. Post-surgery, he or she will ask the support staff to shift you from the operation theatre to the room.

 

Duration of surgery

The duration of the surgery will typically depend upon the type of surgery you are undergoing, the target area and the severity of the condition. While an open surgery will take 2 to 4 hours, a robotic surgery in cancer or any other condition will take an hour more than the traditional surgery.

 

The hospital stay

The type of robot-assisted surgery you are undergoing and your overall condition after rhe surgery will help your surgeon determine the length of your hospital stay. While open or laparoscopic surgeries require a longer hospitalization, a surgery involving the Da Vinci surgical robot will require shorter hospitalization.

 

Recovery from surgery

Your surgeon will thoroughly evaluate your condition after the surgery and check for any complications that may sometimes happen after surgery. You must tell your surgeon about the kind of lifestyle you have, your habits, your daily routine, and the extent of physical activities you perform.

The surgeon will let you know about the instructions that you must strictly follow after the surgery. He or she will also tell you about the activities that you may perform and the precautions to take. He or she will give an idea about the approximate recovery time and when you can get back to your normal routine.

The surgeon at the best robotic surgery hospital inIndia will prescribe you some medications for managing the post-operative paun. He or she will also prepare a diet plan with your dietician to ensure you have meals that aid in your faster recovery.
