Robotic surgery for digestive cancer

These are surgeries performed within the framework of a scientific conference on robotic surgery organized by K Hospital. The surgeries were performed on patients with esophageal, stomach, and rectal cancer treated at K Hospital. For each case, doctors consulted and decided on a surgical plan appropriate to the patient's condition, cancer stage, and level of metastasis.

Doctors at K Hospital perform robotic surgery to treat digestive cancer

Among those who underwent surgery was a 71-year-old female patient (in Nam Dinh) with stomach cancer, who was consulted by experts and underwent robotic laparoscopic surgery to remove almost the entire stomach and remove lymph nodes. Another patient, a 52-year-old male from Hai Duong , with rectal cancer, underwent 3D laparoscopic surgery to remove a segment of the rectum, remove lymph nodes, and a low colorectal anastomosis, helping the patient avoid having to have a permanent artificial anus...

Associate Professor, Dr. Pham Van Binh, Deputy Director of K Hospital, said that surgery to treat digestive cancer with robots has many advantages over conventional open or endoscopic surgery, because the highly flexible robotic arms and 3D images help surgeons observe clearly, perform meticulous dissections, and operate accurately. For patients, surgery with robots has many clear advantages: ensuring aesthetics, minimal trauma, no bleeding, maximum pain relief, and reduced hospital stay while ensuring cancer treatment results.
