Robot in the operating room: more precise interventions in the Divine Savior Hospital!

In the Divine Heiland Hospital on Dornbacher Strasse 20-30, an operating robot has found its way since the beginning of July. The robot is part of the innovative OP robot system "Da Vinci XI" of the company intuitive. The use of this technology aims to treat the patients more precisely and gentle. The first robot -assisting operation took place recently and those responsible are extremely satisfied with the results. My district reports that Michaela Latzelsberger, the managing director of the clinic, from the noticeable advantages for the patients speaks.

The robot -supported surgery brings numerous advantages. Particularly noteworthy are the gentler and more precise interventions, which are reflected in a lower burden for the patients. Small wounds, shorter hospital stays and faster recovery times are further plus points of this modern technology. Matthias Paireder, head of the surgery department, emphasizes that the surgical instruments for surgical instruments can move with greater accuracy than a human hand, which leads to less pain and better wound healing.

robot -assisted surgery in focus

But robot -assisted surgery is not just a gain for patient safety. It is also with precise observation of science. An analysis of the Ludwig Boltzmann Institute for Health Technology Assessment dealt with the benefits of robot-assisted interventions, especially in the thoracic and abdomen area. The study situation shows that there are only a few documented advantages compared to traditional methods. that a sufficient evidence has not been found for 9 out of 13.

The high cost structure and the required intensive training of the surgeons represent further challenges. High number of cases is required for the amortization of a robot system. A recommendation of the researchers is therefore to carry out extensive location planning and market analysis in order to avoid an oversupply of robot systems.

look into the future

In Hernals you are optimistic to be able to carry out complex interventions such as minimal abdominal wall fractures in the future. that the advantages of these technologies will continue to develop. Despite a rather thin evidence situation, research in this area continues with several studies on patients and various interventions. The use of innovative technology could provide even more promising results in the future and further improve the quality of medical care.
