Faculty of Medicine Prince of Songkla University (PSU) has organized a forum event to discuss success and launchrobot assisted surgery (Robotic Surgery), the first and only machine in the south inIt can be used for surgery to treat the 2nd most patients in ASEAN, 190 cases
Throughout the 1 year period, it is also a source of training and learning forspecialist and is a source of study visits for other agencies Associated with Professor Montira Tanthanuch, Associate Dean of the Faculty of Medicine Hospital presided over the opening ceremony
robot assisted surgeryor as it is called medically Robotic Surgery as groundbreaking and medical technology at Songkhla Nakarin Hospital (PSU) is the first hospital in the south. which brings robot-assisted surgery to usetreat the patientBeing accurate and safe, including reducing the impact of wounds in traditional surgery
It consists of three parts of the device:
control unitwhich is the center of control and commands from the surgeon who controls the operation The machine sends a signal to the doctor’s movement to the robotic arm next to the patient’s bed. to perform an operation under the supervision of a doctor AND doctors can see the surgery on a 3D monitor.
mechanical arm This is the part that replaces the surgeon’s arm during surgery. The puppet has 4 arms, the first arm is a 3D camera with high magnification that allows the doctor to see the internal organs clearly. The second, 3rd and 4th arms are like medical devices.
The special feature is being able to bend the wrist and rotate the wrist freely in 7 directions, reducing the doctor’s handshake and being able to reach the organs that doctors cannot reach making the surgery more accurate and safer
and the third part iscodec packwhich serves to receive signals from the control unit sent to the robotic arm to work according to the command
robotic surgerycan support surgery for patients with many diseases abdominal surgery pelvic surgery, such as hysterectomy prostate urinary tract surgery gynecological surgery surgery for obese patients including other surgeries to be considered by the doctor
“The advantages of using robots for doctors This makes the use of surgical assistants less and more stable because the operating hand is a robotic hand controlled by the surgeon. which will be precise, accurate and surgery or suturing can also be done more easily And from such advantages also make urologists used in prostate surgery patients Since the prostate is a deep, narrow organ, it difficult for the surgeon’s hand to enter.”
Although there are benefits for patients undergoing robotic surgery The surgical wound will be smaller, less painful, and bleed less. This causes less blood to be used in the surgery as well. also the rehabilitation period Or going to hospital will be less too. can get back to life and work faster And most importantly, elderly patients can undergo surgery. Reduce the risk of open surgery
