At Acibadem Maslak Hospital, robotic surgery is used to treat a variety of diseases. The da Vinci robot is used in the treatment of urological diseases (prostate cancer, kidney tumours, benign prostate enlargement, bladder cancer, urinary tract strictures), cardiovascular surgery, obstetrics and gynaecological oncology operations.
The da Vinci robot model used at Acibadem Maslak has a 3D depth-sensing camera with 12x zoom. This allows the surgeon to see the operated area with high precision and use minimal incisions.
The instruments with which the surgeon performs the procedure have the mobility of 540 degrees and a tremor control system that prevents accidental shaking from being transmitted from the surgeon's hands to the robot.
All surgeries performed with the da Vinci robot are minimally invasive. This means that the patient recovers from surgery more quickly and experiences less discomfort.
Another advantage of robotic surgery is the ability to operate more safely on obese patients.
