The Da Vinci Xi robot supports 120 complex surgical interventions now available at Ho-Chinh-Ville

The tense of the doctor

The associate professor, Dr. Vu le Chuyen, director of the Center for Urology, Nephrology and Andrology of the Tam Anh General Hospital of Ho Chi Minh Ville, which carried out more than 200 surgical interventions using the Da Vinci XI robot, “said:” Da Vinci Xi is not only a support tool, but also an extensive arm of the doctor, helping to carry out surgical interventions As impossible, bringing safe and effective results and rapid recovery. »»

If the previous generations of Da Vinci robots only helped doctors to carry out surgical interventions in the fields of urology, gynecology, gastroenterology and certain cases of basic cancer, the Da Vinci XI robot, with modern technology, is optimized for complex and multi-regional surgical interventions.

Currently, this robot supports more than 120 types of complex surgeries – prostatectomy, renal tumor, pulmonary tumor, uterine fibroid to rectal cancer, thyroid tumor and mediastinal tumor, covering specialties such as urology, gynecology, gastroenterology, head and neck thoracic, cardiovascular system and oncology.

Modern technology, widening surgical limits

Compared to the most recent previous generation (Da Vinci Si), the Da Vinci XI robot has many distinct advantages. More specifically, for the first time, the robot X has a touch screen that helps doctors select the necessary surgical area and the optimal approach to help individualize each surgery (depending on the location of the patient’s tumor or anatomy).

The vocal guidance function helps doctors to act easily, especially in complex cases. Thanks to this, surgery minimizes damage to healthy tissue, avoiding invading other dangerous areas.

The Da Vinci XI robot also offers superior precision thanks to the surgeon operating via the console, observing the entire surgical field via a high resolution 3D screen.

The XI thinner robotic arm has made an unprecedented difference. The design of the distance between the robotic arms is only 6 cm, 2 cm less than the previous generation, adapted to the shape of the Vietnamese body, allowing surgeons to place the trocarts in a straight line instead of deploying them in a fan, while facilitating operations, minimizing the risk of collision, thus minimizing damage to the surrounding tissue and blood vessels.

This simplified robotic design allows a small incision of only 8 mm.

In addition, thanks to the new design, any robot arm can be equipped with a camera, allowing the doctor to freely modify the viewing angle in the surgical area, thus improving the accuracy and flexibility of surgical operations. This is something that previous generations of robots could not do because the camera had to be fixed on a robotic arm.

The Da Vinci XI robotic arms are mounted on a 360-degree rotary platform and an adjustable arrow with laser positioning, allowing access to several surgical zones without moving the entire robotic system.

In the generation if, the robotic arms are mounted on the body of the machine column, forcing the doctor to move the entire system if necessary.

Thanks to exceptional improvements in generation XI, in interregional surgeries, the surgical team does not need to move the robot or change the patient’s position, which saves time, reduce risks and reduce complications.

Da Vinci XI is also the first generation of Da Vinci robots to integrate a welding and hemostasis handle, allowing the withdrawal of tissues and immediate hemostasis without changing instruments, thus minimizing blood loss. This technology is particularly beneficial for elderly patients, those suffering from complex underlying diseases or those requiring intervention in difficult places, thanks to its ability to reduce bleeding, postoperative pain and recovery time.

In Vietnam, in parallel with the development of the country, the application of high -tech equipment such as the Da Vinci XI robot testifies to the continuous efforts of the Tam Anh general hospital system to improve the quality of medical care with international standards, thus offering the possibility of a healthy life to millions of people.
