ROBOTIC SURGERY AT NATIONAL MEDICAL RESEARCH RADIOLOGICAL CENTRE

The N. Lopatkin Scientific Research Institute of Urology and Interventional Radiology – branch of the Federal State Budgetary Institution of the “National Medical Research Radiological Centre” of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation introduced robot-assisted surgery using the Da Vinci system, which appeared at the Centre thanks to the implementation of the National Healthcare Project.

High-tech surgery using a robotic system is a modern and promising direction of minimally invasive surgery, which allows complex surgical interventions to be performed with minimal trauma to surrounding tissues and has a number of undeniable advantages.

“The appearance of the latest robotic system at the National Medical Research Radiological Centre is an important event for us. We are grateful to the Government of the Russian Federation, the Ministry of Health and personally to the Minister, who pays close attention to improving oncological care, emphasized Andrey Kaprin, Director General of the National Medical Research Radiological Centre of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation, Academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences and Russian Academy of Education. Achieving better results and faster recovery of patients after surgical interventions, while minimizing intra- and postoperative complications, is one of the key tasks of modern oncology surgery, and all this is possible, among other things, thanks to new technologies of robotic surgery.”

Of course, the surgical intervention is carried out with the direct participation of the surgeon, who is located behind a special console, where he sees the surgical field in three dimensions and controls the instruments using two joysticks and foot pedals. The robot’s thinnest instruments have seven degrees of freedom, which allows you to perform the most complex manipulations.

The system is used in such medical fields as oncology, urology, gynecology, abdominal surgery, etc. At the Center, surgeons resort to using the robot in the most difficult cases, for example, in urological oncology pathologies, diseases of the pelvis, bladder, prostate gland, where literally jeweler precision is required.

Operating surgeon, doctor of N. Lopatkin Scientific Research Institute of Urology and Interventional Radiology – branch of the Federal State Budgetary Institution of the “National Medical Research Radiological Centre” of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation Ph.D. Sergey Mishugin shared his impressions of the robot-assisted system: “First of all, it is first-class visualization of the surgical field and the speed of performing the intervention. The system allows us to look at anatomical structures from a convenient angle that was not available with open or laparoscopic surgery, and achieve high precision manipulation, which in many cases improves the clinical outcome.”
