Robotics

Patients come first. And that is why the technology arm of the medical world continuously works hard to produce state-of-the-art medical equipment to meet the compassionate care of hospitals and healthcare consultants.

This is all to enhance surgical outcomes for all patients.

Robotic surgical systems such as the da Vinci System and Mako SmartRobotics use minimally invasive surgical approaches so that surgeons are able to know more, and cut less. Smaller incisions mean less pain as well as quicker recovery for you to be at your best.

Robotic surgical systems also amplify your surgeon's skills. Imagine a surgical sidekick that combines precision, dexterity, and advanced technology to help surgeons perform procedures with enhanced control and precision.

1. Precision and Control

   Having a robotic system is like having a highly advanced set of surgical tools at the surgeon's fingertips. The robotic arms are equipped with miniaturised instruments that can move with greater flexibility and precision than the human hand.

   For example, through CT-based 3D modelling of bone anatomy, surgeons can use the Mako System to create a personalised surgical plan and identify the desired course of surgery and alignment based on each patient’s unique anatomy.

2. Minimally Invasive

   One key advantage of surgical robotics is its ability to perform minimally invasive surgery. Instead of large incisions, surgeons make a few small openings, reducing the impact on the patient's body and often resulting in quicker recovery times.

3. 3D Visualisation

   Surgeons using surgical robotics have access to high-definition, 3D visualisation of the surgical site. This depth of view allows for a detailed and magnified view of the anatomy, enabling more accurate and controlled movements during the procedure.

   Traditionally, surgeons rely on 2D imaging to guide their movements and identify critical structures during surgery. With the da Vinci System, surgeons overcome challenges in depth perception and spatial awareness with real-time three-dimensional view of the surgical site.

4. Enhanced Manoeuvrability

   The robotic arms are designed to mimic the natural range of motion of the human hand and wrist but with a greater degree of freedom. This enhanced manoeuvrability allows surgeons to reach areas that might be challenging with traditional surgical techniques.

5. Improved Patient Outcomes

   Studies have shown that surgeries performed with surgical robotics can lead to reduced blood loss, fewer complications, and shorter hospital stays. This can contribute to better overall outcomes and a faster return to daily activities for patients.

Surgeons undergo specialised training to master the use of the system, ensuring that patients receive the highest quality of care.

Surgical robotics represent remarkable leaps forward in surgical technology. Its precision, minimally invasive approach, and the expertise of trained surgeons make it a reliable and effective option for a range of procedures.

As technology continues to advance, Pantai Hospital Kuala Lumpur will stand at the forefront with advancements, offering new possibilities for improved patient care.
