Dear Sir I am suffering from Gall stone disease. I want to know that what is the difference between the cholecystectomy done by simple laparoscopy and done by robot. |

Dear Julie Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is the most common laparoscopic procedure performed. In this procedure, 5-10mm diameter instruments (graspers, scissors, clip applier) can be introduced by the surgeons into the abdomen through trocars (hollow tubes with a seal to keep the CO2 from leaking). There are two different formats for laparoscopic surgery. Multiple incisions are required for technology such as the "De Vinci" system, which uses a console located away from the patient, with the surgeon controlling a camera, vacuum pump, saline cleansing solution, cutting tools, etc. each located within its own incision site, but oriented toward the surgical objective. The surgeon uses two Play Station type controls to manipulate the devices. |
