The services we offer at the Unit include the following: General Paediatric Paediatric Urology Services Minimally Invasive Surgery Neonatal Surgery Oncology & Cancer Robotic Surgery Trauma and Emergency Care Endoscopic Procedures Prenatal Counselling and Fetal Surgery Post-Surgical Care & Rehabilitation Specialized Clinics What is Robotic Surgery for Children? Robotic surgery for children is a minimally invasive surgical technique that uses advanced robotic technology to perform complex procedures with greater precision and control. The procedure is performed by a surgeon who operates the robotic instruments while viewing the surgical site through a 3D high-definition camera. How Painful is Robotic Surgery? Robotic surgery is typically less painful than traditional surgery due to smaller incisions, less blood loss, and a shorter recovery time. However, every child's experience can be different, and pain can vary depending on the type of surgery and the child's individual pain tolerance. What are the Conditions Treated Under Robotic Surgery for Children? Robotic surgery is used to treat a wide range of conditions in children. Its main implication is in pediatric urological procedures. Here are some of the most common conditions treated with robotic surgery: Urologic disorders: Disorders in children, such as vesicoureteral reflux (VUR), are treated with robotics. VUR is a condition where urine flows back up from the bladder into the kidneys, which can cause kidney damage. Gastro-Instestinal Disorders: Robotic surgery has definite advantages in treating various gastro -intestinal surgeries like fundoplication, resection of choledochal cyst, mesenteric cyst, pancreatic surgery etc. Tumours: Tumours can be cancerous or non-cancerous and can occur in different body parts. Robotic surgery is a precise and efficient way to remove tumours while minimising damage to surrounding tissue. Robotics can also be used in various thoracic procedures like mediastinal cysts and tumors, lobectomy for congenital lung lesions , diaphragmatic hernia etc. Overall, robotic surgery can be used in a wide range of surgeries in children, offering many benefits over traditional surgeries. Is Robotic Surgery Safe for Children? Robotic surgery is generally safe for children when performed by a qualified and experienced surgical team. However, as with any surgery, there are potential risks and complications, such as bleeding, infection, and anaesthesia complications. These risks can vary depending on the type of surgery and the child's individual health status. How Long Does it Take to Recover From Robotic Surgery in Children? Recovery time can vary depending on the type of surgery and the child's individual health status. In general, robotic surgery allows for a faster recovery time than traditional surgery due to smaller incisions and less tissue damage. Will the Child Have Scars After Robotic Surgery? Scarring is typically less prominent with robotic surgery due to smaller incisions. However, scarring can still occur, and the extent of scarring can vary depending on the type of surgery and the child's individual healing process. How to Prepare the Child for Robotic Surgery? Preparing your child for robotic surgery involves talking with your healthcare professional, following pre-surgery instructions, and discussing the surgery with your child in an age-appropriate manner. Your healthcare professional can provide guidance on how to prepare your child for the surgery. Robotic surgery in children is an excellent option for parents looking for the best possible care for their child's surgical needs. At BLK-Max Hospital, we use the latest technology and techniques to ensure that our young patients receive the highest level of care. Our expert team is committed to providing personalised care and working with you every step of the way. Contact us today to learn more about robotic surgery for children at BLK-Max Hospital.
