Learning on ScreenRobotic Surgery for Cancer Treatment
- Synopsis
- Robotic systems were first used to remove prostate cancer, then adapted for kidney cancer and bladder cancer procedures, which are more complex because of the variation in surgical anatomy, size and shape of tumours. The benefits of robotic surgery for a patient include decreased blood loss, nerve sparing and shorter hospital stay. This talk focuses on the latest advances in robotic surgery for the treatment of these cancers.
