Medical School Prince of Songkla University (PSU) held a forum event to discuss the success and launchrobotic surgery (Robotic Surgery), the first and only machine in the south aIt can be used for surgery to treat the second number of patients in ASEAN, 190 cases
Throughout the 1 year period, it is also a source of training and learning forspecialist and is a source of study visits for other agencies Associated with Prof. Assoc. Montira Tanthanuch, Associate Dean for the Faculty of Medicine Hospital presided over the inauguration ceremony
robotic surgeryor as a doctor called Robotic surgery as a breakthrough and medical technology at Songkhla Nakarin Hospital (PSU) is the first hospital in the south. which brings robot-assisted surgery to usetreat the patientTo be accurate and safe, including reducing the impact of wounds in traditional surgery
It consists of three parts of the device:
control unitwhich is the control center and the orders of the surgeon who controls the surgery The machine sends a signal to the movement of the doctor to the robotic arm next to the patient’s bed. to perform surgery under the supervision of a doctor AND doctors can view the surgery on a 3D monitor.
mechanical arm It is the part that replaces the surgeon’s arm during surgery. The puppet has 4 arms, the first arm is a high magnification 3D camera that allows the doctor to see the internal organs clearly, the second, 3rd and 4th arms are like medical devices.
The special feature is it can bend the wrist and rotate the wrist freely in 7 directions, reducing the shaking of the doctor’s hand and can reach the organs that doctors cannot reach make the intervention more accurate and safer
and the third part iscodec kitwhich is used to receive the signals from the control unit sent to the robotic arm to work according to the command
robotic surgerycan support surgery for patients with many diseases both abdominal surgery pelvic surgery, such as a hysterectomy urinary tract surgery of the prostate gynecological surgery surgery for obese patients including other surgeries considered by the doctor
“The advantages of using robots for doctors are. This makes the use of surgical assistants more and more stable because the operating hand is a robotic hand controlled by the surgeon. which will be precise, accurate and surgical or sutured can also be made easier And from such advantages also make urologists used in patients undergoing prostate surgery Since the prostate is a deep and narrow organ, it is difficult for the surgeon’s hand to enter ” .
While the benefits for robotic surgery patients are The surgical wound will be smaller, less painful and less bleeding. This causes even less blood to be used in the surgery. the rehabilitation period OR hospitalization will also be less. can come back to life and work faster And most importantly, elderly patients can undergo surgery.
