A health board eradicated a waiting list for prostate cancer surgery - by using robots
. NHS Tayside currently has no patients waiting for a prostate cancer op, and recorded the highest number of procedures using a single robot in Scotland.
Surgeons manoeuvre the arms of the robot surgeon using a control panel, with a screen and headset enabling them to view and guide the procedure with extremely precise movements. It has been shown to reduce the risk of infections and to speed up patient recovery because it is minimally invasive, meaning that patients will spend less time in hospital overall.
"The benefits of using precision instruments and keyhole surgical techniques for patients are evidenced in reduced blood loss and time spent recovering in hospital. Patients who have had robotic surgery for prostatectomies are generally able to be discharged the next day.
