Robotic colorectal surgery may sound like a futuristic procedure, but it’s a contemporary solution that provides excellent results for patients who suffer from colon and rectal diseases. The goal with colorectal robotic surgery is increased visualization of pelvic structures by assisting the surgeon in ways that were not possible before.
Dr. Kamrava is an experienced surgeon who is board-certified in colon and rectal surgery. He has been fellowship trained in the use of the robot for abdominal and pelvic surgeries. To provide the best possible care for his patients, he is certified in both laparoscopic and robotic surgery.
What is Robotic Colorectal Surgery?
Robotic colorectal surgery uses technological advancements to improve a surgeon’s visualization and dexterity in certain procedures. During the minimally invasive procedure, the surgeon controls a robotic instrument that is able to operate on a patient with intricate tools, allowing more precise maneuverability. Unlike standard open surgeries, which require a large abdominal incision, a robot-assisted procedure makes use of several small incisions. The goal is less surgical trauma in order to produce less pain, a shorter recovery time, as well as more aesthetically pleasing cosmetic results.
Who is a Candidate for Colon Cancer Robotic Surgery?
If you’ve been diagnosed with colon or rectal cancer, you’ll want to explore your surgical options. To begin with, Dr. Kamrava will give you a through physical examination. He will also evaluate your medical history and assess whether or not you are a candidate for robotic surgery. Robotic surgery will not necessarily benefit all patients, and a careful history will aid in this determination.
Advanced Precision
When a patient undergoes robotic colorectal surgery, it’s important to remember that the surgeon has complete control of the operation. The robotic instruments only perform actions based on the surgeon’s guidance
