A new robot for unique complex operations appeared at the regional children's hospital.
The chief doctor of the Irkutsk Regional Children's Hospital, Yuri Kozlov, said that the surgeons performed an excision of a kidney cyst on a new robotic platform. The doctor believes that the case was not easy:.
The position of the kidney was unusual - quite high, and the kidney was round, that is, rotated around its axis. Complex anatomy of blood vessels, five pairs of feeding vessels. But the robot makes it possible to overcome the difficulties that arise when performing surgery, especially in children.
In the new robot, all manipulative devices come down from above the patient, which gives doctors more opportunities to work centered around the child. The device also has increased maneuverability, a wide range of devices and excellent imaging.
The first robotic surgery program in Russia has been operating at the hospital for 4 years. It was used to perform 45 types of different robotic surgeries and save more than 500 patients.
