Robotic Surgery is the new leaf in the story of gastrointestinal surgery (GIS). Robotic surgery is a robotic assisted system of surgery (Surgeon-robot), in which the robot does not operate independently but is controlled by the surgeon.
In the past 20 years, there has been a breakthrough in minimally invasive surgery in GIS in the form of Laparoscopic Surgery and Thoracoscopic surgery. Today most Gastrointestinal Cancers are being treated by minimally invasive methods be it oesophagus, stomach, colorectum or hepatobiliary pancreas. Robotic surgery has many advantages over open and laparoscopic surgery.
At CK Birla Hospital, we provide expert, compassionate care driven by research and advanced technology. Our multidisciplinary team approach ensures that patients receive comprehensive treatment tailored to their specific needs, promoting faster and more effective recovery.
Signs and symptoms of GI cancers can vary but often include unexplained weight loss, persistent abdominal pain, changes in bowel habits, blood in stool, jaundice, and difficulty swallowing. If you experience any of these symptoms, it is important to seek medical advice for further evaluation.
Minimally invasive surgery, including laparoscopic and robotic techniques, offers numerous benefits such as smaller incisions, reduced pain and scarring, lower risk of infection, minimal blood loss, and faster recovery times compared to traditional open surgery.
Preparation for GI HPB surgery typically involves preoperative consultations, imaging studies, and lab tests to assess your overall health. Your doctor will provide specific instructions on fasting, medication adjustments, and other preparations needed before the surgery.
During the recovery period, patients can expect a hospital stay for monitoring and initial recovery. Pain management, gradual return to normal activities, and follow-up appointments are essential parts of the recovery process. Your healthcare team will provide detailed guidelines tailored to your specific surgery and condition.
Treatment plans at the CK Birla Hospital are developed through a multidisciplinary approach, involving specialists from various fields such as oncology, surgery, radiology, and pathology. Each plan is personalised based on the patient’s specific condition, overall health, and treatment goals, ensuring the best possible outcomes.
