Advancements in Robotic Surgeries

Cardiac surgery, or cardiovascular surgery, is surgery of the heart or large vessels performed by cardiac surgeons. It is often used to treat complications of ischemic heart disease (for example, with coronary bypass); to correct congenital heart disease; or to treat valvular heart disease from various causes, including endocarditis, rheumatic heart disease, and atherosclerosis. This also includes heart transplantation.

Transplantation, also called a transplant or organ transplant, in medicine, a section of tissue or a complete organ that is removed from its original natural site and transferred to a new position in the same person or in a separate individual. The term, like the synonym for graft, was borrowed from horticulture. Both words imply that success will result in a healthy and thriving graft or graft, which will draw its nourishment from its new environment.

Surgery performed with emphasis on one or more of the endocrine organs is called endocrine surgery. Endocrine organs are glands located throughout the body, which secrete hormones essential for maintaining homeostasis (i.e. a constant internal environment) and metabolism into the bloodstream.

These glands together form what is called the endocrine system, whose control and command centers are the pituitary gland and the hypothalamus. The other endocrine glands are the endocrine pancreas, pineal, adrenal, thyroid and parathyroid glands. Specialists who perform surgery on these glands are called endocrine surgeons.

Aesthetic plastic surgery refers to procedures that improve the appearance of the face and body. They include tummy tuck, breast augmentation, breast reduction, eyelid surgery, nose reshaping, facelift, and fat removal.

Aesthetic plastic surgery is performed to improve someone's appearance. Reconstructive plastic surgery, on the other hand, improves both the appearance and functions of the face and body. It can treat hereditary deformities, trauma or revisions after surgeries including mastectomy or lumpectomy.

ENT surgery is a medical specialty performed by ENT surgeons. “Otolaryngologists,” as they are known in the medical community, can be a bit of a tongue twister to the layman, which is why they are better known as ENT specialists. The term is also self-explanatory, as it derives from their area of ​​expertise - the ear, nose and throat. This includes related structures like the sinuses and the larynx. While GPs may be able to treat problems that affect these areas, they can only offer medical treatment. ENT specialists are physicians trained in both the medical and surgical management of these health conditions, which is why they are also called head and neck surgeons.

Eye surgery, also called ophthalmic or ocular surgery, is surgery performed on the eye or its appendages, by an ophthalmologist. Eye surgery is synonymous with ophthalmology. The eye is a very delicate organ and requires extreme care before, during and after surgery to minimize or prevent further damage.

Urosurgery is the medical specialty that involves surgical procedures for the treatment of various conditions related to the reproductive and urinary organs. The specialty mainly includes urogenital procedures such as inguinal hernia surgery, total cystectomy, bladder tumor surgery and other urological procedures.

Orthopedic surgery, also called orthopedics, is a branch of surgery that deals with health problems and diseases that affect the musculoskeletal system, including joints, bones, ligaments, tendons, muscles and nerves.

Acute Care Surgery is a developing field of surgery that has taken the principals of trauma care and applied them to patients with other urgent, time-sensitive surgical conditions. Thus, our Acute Care Surgery team provides the full range of care to patients who are critically ill with acute surgical emergencies, shock, severe sepsis, respiratory failure, and advanced multi-organ failure, in addition to caring for patients with traumatic injuries.

Obstetrics and Gynecology is the medical specialty that encompasses the two sub-specialties of Obstetrics (covering pregnancy, childbirth and the postpartum period) and Gynecology (covering the health of the female reproductive system - vagina, uterus, ovaries and breasts).

Postgraduate training programs for the two fields are usually combined, preparing the practicing obstetrician-gynecologist to be adept in both female reproductive health care and pregnancy management, although many physicians continue to develop subspecialty interests in one area or another.

Robotic surgery, also called robot-assisted surgery, allows doctors to perform many types of complex procedures with more precision, flexibility, and control than is possible with conventional techniques. Robotic surgery is commonly associated with minimally invasive surgery - procedures performed through tiny incisions. It is also sometimes used in some traditional open surgical procedures.

The most widely used clinical robotic surgical system includes a camera arm and mechanical arms to which surgical instruments are attached. The surgeon checks the arms sitting in front of a computer console near the operating table. The console provides the surgeon with a magnified high definition 3D view of the surgical site. The surgeon directs the other members of the team who assist during the operation.

Pediatric robotic surgery offers unique challenges in this rapidly evolving field. The financial costs of providing this cutting-edge technology are significant for what are essentially low-volume, complex cases. The rate of adoption has been slow in most pediatric surgery centers around the world.

Spinal anesthesia is a neuraxial anesthesia technique in which local anesthetic is placed directly into the intrathecal space. This activity reviews the technique, contraindications and indications of spinal anesthesia and highlights the role of the inter-professional team in the management of these patients.

Laser surgery is a type of surgery that uses special light beams instead of instruments, such as a scalpel, to perform surgical procedures. There are several different types of lasers, each with characteristics that perform specific functions during surgery. Laser light can be delivered continuously or intermittently and can be used with fiber optics to treat areas of the body that are often hard to reach.
