Da Vinci Robotic Surgery is available at Sin
gapore Mount Elizabeth Hospital for treatment of prostate cancer. Da Vinci’s operating system is the latest breakthrough that allows the surgeon to get a picture of 3-dimensional and up to 10-fold magnification.
This system works by using high strength micro cameras, placed at the telescope and placed in a thin tube into the patient’s body.
Da Vinci robot operated on a patient, and driven by the physician. Da Vinci robot has three arms, shaped tube, which serves as a one-handed right-handed, one hand serves as the left hand and one hand serves for the camera .. Sometimes one arm longer necessary to assist operations such as shifting of other organs that block.
Operations using the Da Vinci robot can reduce the errors that often occur in conventional surgery. It also can shorten the operating time of 9 hours (conventional surgery) to only 3-4 hours, said Dr. James Tan.
Another advantage is that only a scar 6 holes for the lock (key hole) around the abdomen. Comparing with conventional surgery that cut through the abdomen from left to right. Certainly will leave a long scar and difficult to remove.
