Frequently Asked Questions

What is robotic surgery?

Robotic surgery is a form of minimally invasive surgery where surgeons use advanced robotic systems to enhance their precision and control during procedures. At JCMC, our skilled surgeons control these robotic instruments via a computer console, allowing for highly accurate movements through small incisions. This approach aims to reduce trauma to the body and promote quicker recovery times.

How does robotic surgery work?

During robotic surgery, the surgeon operates from a console equipped with controls that maneuver robotic arms holding specialized instruments and a high-definition 3D camera. This setup provides a magnified view of the surgical site and translates the surgeon's hand movements into precise actions of the instruments, facilitating complex procedures with enhanced accuracy.

What are the benefits of robotic surgery?

Patients undergoing robotic-assisted surgery at JCMC may experience several benefits compared to traditional open surgery, including:

• Smaller incisions leading to reduced scarring
• Less postoperative pain and decreased reliance on pain medications
• Shorter hospital stays and quicker return to daily activities
• Lower risk of complications such as infections and blood loss
• Enhanced precision in preserving healthy tissues surrounding the surgical area

Are there risks associated with robotic surgery?

As with any surgical procedure, robotic surgery carries certain risks, including potential reactions to anesthesia, bleeding, and infection. However, the minimally invasive nature of robotic-assisted surgery often reduces these risks. It's important to discuss your specific situation with your surgeon to understand the potential risks and benefits.

Is robotic surgery appropriate for all patients?

Robotic surgery is suitable for many individuals, but it may not be the best option for everyone. Factors such as overall health, medical history, and the specific condition being treated will determine if robotic-assisted surgery is appropriate. Our surgical team at JCMC will conduct a thorough evaluation and discuss the most suitable treatment options tailored to your individual needs.
