Robotic surgery uses robotic instruments controlled with precision through small incisions, often meaning less scarring, less blood loss and a faster recovery, without compromising on how thoroughly the cancer is removed.
Signs Worth Getting Checked
Should You Be Worried?
Robotic surgery isn't right for every case, and that's a decision made after your imaging and diagnosis are reviewed, not assumed from the start. Tumour size, location and stage all factor into whether a robotic approach is suitable, and Dr Powle will tell you plainly if a conventional approach is the better choice for your case.
What Raises Your Risk
Certain factors can affect whether a robotic approach is right for you, including prior radiation or surgery in the area, the size and extent of your tumour, and your individual anatomy. These are assessed individually rather than assumed from your diagnosis alone.
How It's Diagnosed
