📖About Robotic Tumour Resection
Robotic tumour resection uses a robotic surgical system controlled by the surgeon to remove tumours with enhanced precision, magnified 3D visualisation, and greater dexterity than conventional laparoscopy. It is used across specialties including urologic, gynaecologic, and gastrointestinal oncology for tumours in hard-to-reach anatomical locations. The technique allows for smaller incisions, reduced blood loss, and often faster recovery compared to open surgery. Robotic assistance is particularly valuable for preserving surrounding nerves and organs during complex cancer removal.

🔬How the Treatment is Performed
- 1Under general anaesthesia, several small incisions are made through which robotic instrument arms and a 3D camera are inserted, while the surgeon operates from a console that translates hand movements into precise instrument motion. The tumour is carefully dissected free from surrounding tissue and removed, often through a slightly enlarged port site. Lymph nodes may also be sampled through the same small incisions if needed for staging.
