Overview
Robotic repair done through the da Vinci Surgical System (Intuitive Surgical) is the most recent and advanced approach for the repair of atrial septal defect [1]
Component of robotic repair
- Surgeon console
- Computerized control system
- Two instrument arms
- Fiberoptic camera
Advantage
Surgery specific
- High degree of freedom of hand movement.
- Better precision compared to hand done surgery.
- Performance of complex operations with great success.
- Operation could be performed by the surgeon from remote distance.
- Excellent visualization and magnification of internal anatomy due to the two-camera systems.
Patient specific
- Small incisions
- Minimal scarring
- Decreased bleeding
- Decreased infection
- Shorter recovery period
- Less traumatic for patient
- No restrictions in activities
- Less pain so less use of pain medications
- Shorter hospital stay (usually 3 to 4 days)
Principles of Robotic surgery
Due to this technique a surgeon can perform operations from a remote distance. The surgeon gets an excellent three dimensional view of the heart through the fiberoptic stereoscopic camera. The surgeon's hand motions are relayed to a computer processor, which digitizes and relays them to the fine instrument placed into the chest through small port incisions.
