Robotic Surgery
Robotic surgery offers several advantages over traditional laparoscopic surgery. These include 3D vision, magnification, scaling of movements and ability to overlay imaging techniques onto the surgical screen.
Dr. Laurie completely controls the robotic movements which allows extremely precise surgery to be performed. Several recent publications support the use of Robotic Surgery for pancreas resection and show reduced blood loss, shorter length of stay, faster recovery and improved quality of life scores.
Please feel free to discuss at your appointment whether robotic surgery is suitable for your procedure.
