Robotic Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Surgery
#robotic surgery, #laparoscopic surgery, #hepatobiliary and pancreatic surgery, #liver donation, #minimally invasive surgery, #living donor liver transplantation, #surgical scar, #open surgery, #lack of energy, #lethargy, #persistent fatigue
Robotic surgery is a method in which the surgeon sits at a console (control device) and operates by controlling robotic arms. Using 10x magnified three-dimensional (3D) images and freely moving robotic arms, it can allow more precise manipulation than laparoscopic surgery. It is also used for liver, bile duct, and pancreatic surgery, and for liver donation surgery. Whether robotic surgery is suitable, and which method is used, depends on each patient's condition, so please consult a medical specialist.2026-06-26

Robotic Mastectomy for Breast Cancer
#Breast cancer, #Mastectomy, #Robotic surgery, #Nipple-sparing, #Breast reconstruction, #BRCA, #Nipple necrosis, #Minimally invasive surgery
Robotic mastectomy is a minimally invasive surgery in which a surgeon controls a robotic system to remove the breast. A “mastectomy” refers to surgery that removes the entire breast. Compared with conventional surgery, the incisions are smaller and placed differently, offering a cosmetic advantage. Breast reconstruction may also be performed at the same time if needed. Whether this approach is right for you should be decided after a thorough discussion with your doctor.2026-06-26

Robotic Surgery for Gastric Cancer
#gastric cancer, #robotic surgery, #gastrectomy, #laparoscopy, #minimally invasive surgery, #gastric cancer surgery, #chemotherapy, #gastric cancer stage, #hand tremor, #body tremor
Robotic surgery for gastric cancer is a minimally invasive operation in which a surgeon controls a robot to treat gastric cancer. 'Minimally invasive' refers to a method of operating through only small openings in the body. The surgical method (open, laparoscopic, or robotic) is decided by your treating specialist after considering society guidelines, the latest research findings, and the patient's condition together. Please discuss the most suitable surgical method thoroughly with your treating specialist.2026-06-26

Robotic Surgery for Hernia
#hernia, #abdominal wall hernia, #inguinal hernia, #robotic surgery, #laparoscopy, #minimally invasive surgery, #single-port, #recurrence, #hand tremor, #body tremor
A hernia is a condition in which an internal organ moves out of its normal position and pushes out through a weak spot in the abdominal wall. The basic treatment for hernia is surgery, and surgical methods include open surgery, laparoscopic surgery, and robotic surgery. A hernia can recur even after surgery, so ongoing management by your treating specialist is needed regardless of the surgical method. Please discuss the choice of surgical method thoroughly with your treating specialist before deciding.2026-06-26

Spine Surgery
#spine surgery, #disc, #spinal stenosis, #disc herniation, #scoliosis, #spondylolisthesis, #spinal rehabilitation, #osteoporosis, #lumbar spine, #cervical spine, #body swelling, #facial swelling, #leg swelling, #swollen hands and feet, #numbness in hands and feet, #arm numbness, #tingling leg, #weakness in the arms or legs, #difficulty moving one side of the body
Spinal conditions cause a variety of symptoms, including neck and back pain, numbness in the arms and legs, and gait disturbance. Typical conditions include herniated disc (disc herniation), spinal stenosis, and spondylolisthesis. Most spinal conditions are not life-threatening, so the principle is to start with conservative treatment such as drug therapy and physical therapy, and whether and when surgery is needed depends on each patient's condition. Please consult a medical specialist for an accurate diagnosis and direction of treatment.2026-06-26
