The benefits of Robot-assisted thoracic surgery

Robot-assisted thoracic surgery is a minimally invasive alternative to open surgery for thoracic conditions. This means that the surgeon will only make small incisions during the surgery, which entails recovery-related benefits and fewer risks. These benefits include:

Shorter hospital stay
Quicker recovery
Less post-operative pain
Reduced complications
Smaller scars
No cutting of the breastbone or ribs

What is it?

This minimally invasive procedure utilises the da Vinci surgical system — a type of computer-enhanced robotic technology that allows the surgeon to operate on the chest area using a 3D HD camera and miniature rotating instruments for greater depth perception, range of movement and accuracy.

How does it work?

During your consultation, your surgeon will first assess your suitability for this type of surgery based on your condition and medical history. Some of the conditions that can be treated are:

Lung Cancer
Oesophageal Cancer
Thymoma and Thymic Carcinoma
Thymectomy for Myasthenia Gravis
Chest Wall Tumors
Neurogenic Tumors
Carcinoid Tumors
Lymphoma
Barrett's Oesophagus
