Developments in medical technology have radically changed surgical methods. Today, in kidney cancer, prostate cancer, and bladder tumor surgeries, traditional open surgery is being replaced by robotic surgery, a minimally invasive method.

Comparative Surgical Features

While open surgeries require large incisions in the patient's body, robotic surgery is performed through only a few small holes (ports) using arms and a 3D high-resolution camera.

Key Differences and Advantages

  • Precision and Imaging: Robotic surgery provides a 3D image magnified 10-15 times. In open surgery, the surgeon's field of vision is limited in narrow areas like the pelvis.
  • Recovery Time: Patients undergoing robotic surgery can be discharged within 1-2 days, whereas in open surgery this period can take up to a week.
  • Infection and Hernia Risk: Thanks to small incisions, the risk of surgical site infection and hernia formation is minimal in the robotic method.
  • Applications of the Da Vinci robotic system, which maximizes patient comfort, are preferred by our clinic in urological cancer surgeries.
