Sir, I want to know Do da Vinci robotic surgery Offer Any Clear Surgical Advantage? The review says no, and many experts believe it's a sobering reflection on medical technology without any real benefit to patients. |

We did one study and check out the da Vinci robot and various other robotics that have actually been greatly marketed over the last three decades to doctors. And the fact is that several health centers utilized an advertising and marketing tactic to bring in patients for robotic surgery. Except for few surgeries, da Vinci robotic surgery does not have an advantage over traditional laparoscopic surgery. In many surgeries the robot really did not and also laparoscopic or even open surgical procedures did just about the same. There is presently no clear benefit with existing robotic systems, which are expensive and also increase comprehensive maintenance costs. Although, with improvement, competition, and also expense decrease, future variations may have prospective to improve the patient's end results. So why are we doing robotic surgery? The OR time of robotic surgery is more. The issues do not show up a substantively lower injury by using the robot. It truly begs the question, how did this costly, intrusive, advertising and marketing method come to be so widespread? As well as why are many surgeons so positive the robot is the finest? Even if the robot provides no genuine advantages over conventional or laparoscopic surgical procedure, which is what this testimonial appears to show. No substantive advantages are clear, that occur throughout every one of the researches in this area of robotic minimally invasive surgery, why we do it?. The answer is, we are hopeful that in the future the technological advances will improve patient outcomes in order to outweigh the current costs. Any technology, in the beginning, has these issues but once the competitors will be more cost will decrease and technology will further improve and that day we will definitely get the true advantage of robotic surgery. Technology is always neutral. It is up to us how we breathe ethical and moral life with that technology. Robotic surgery is one of the technologies which we have to use with ethical practice. |
