Radiation therapy is a treatment that uses high-energy radiation to damage the DNA of cancer cells, which stops their growth and ultimately destroys them. Some normal cells are also damaged, but they usually recover more quickly than cancer cells and may return to normal function after treatment ends.

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.

Robotic surgery can offer several advantages when operating on cancers of the colon and rectum. However, robotic surgery is not the right choice for every patient. Do not rely on information from the internet to choose a surgical method; choose it based on an accurate diagnosis by a surgical specialist.

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.

Robotic Surgery for Hernia

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.

Robotic Surgery for Liver Cancer and Liver Transplantation

#liver cancer, #liver transplantation, #robotic surgery, #general surgery, #liver cirrhosis

Robotic surgery is a method in which the surgeon controls a robot and operates through a few small openings in the abdomen. A more expensive operation is not always the better choice. Do not decide based on this encyclopedia alone; please consult a surgical specialist to find the safest surgical method for the patient.
