“Did you know that robots don’t actually perform robotic surgery?”～Kurashiki Medical Center

At Kurashiki Medical Center, four robotic surgical systems are used in specialties including gynecology, urology, general surgery, and thoracic surgery.

Robot-assisted surgery is a minimally invasive procedure performed by a surgeon using a robotic system.

The robot does not perform the surgery on its own. Instead, it assists the surgeon by supporting precise surgical movements.

This technology is used in several specialties, including:・ Gynecology・ Urology・ General Surgery・ Thoracic Surgery

Furthermore, depending on the type of surgery and the patient’s condition, surgery may be performed through natural openings in the body, such as the umbilicus or vagina. In some cases, this approach may eliminate the need for additional incisions on the body surface, potentially resulting in less visible postoperative scarring.

At Kurashiki Medical Center, four robotic surgical systems are available, including the da Vinci SP and da Vinci 5.

The center has performed more than 3,300 da Vinci robot-assisted procedures and has specialists experienced in robotic surgery.

Whether robot-assisted surgery is suitable depends on each patient’s condition and should be determined by a physician.
