For three years now, the medical community has been working on the acquisition of a “long-awaited” tool, says Dr. Pires, urologist. Both by the practitioners of the Rochefort and La Rochelle hospitals and by the patients. Concretely, the surgeon controls the articulated arms of the robot and the camera from a console where an enlargeable image is rendered in 3D and high definition. With his hands, he remotely directs the instruments in order to carry out the intervention. With very concrete benefits.
Less pain
The seated position improves working comfort. In addition, the robot’s articulated instruments offer a better range of motion and eliminate the natural tremor of the human hand, for greater gesture efficiency. For patients, the risk of bleeding and complications goes down, as does pain. You need less painkillers. And the duration of hospitalization is also reduced. Everyone wins, for sure. Since the first hospitals were equipped with the technology twenty years ago.
