Treatment characteristics

What is Da Vinci® Robotic Surgery?

The Da Vinci® Robotic Surgery is the most advanced surgical instrument in terms of surgery, as it puts robotics at the service of the surgeon allowing for exceptional precision.

With this new technology the surgeon does not operate directly on the patient but through a device called a console from which he controls, by means of a computer, the eight “robotic arms” which are connected to eight ports placed in eight millimetric incisions and into which the surgical instruments are inserted and which allow him to see a 3D image of the patient as well as to visualize the radiological tests carried out previously allowing him to operate in a precise and safe manner.

What surgeries is the Da Vinci® used for?

The Da Vinci® robot is used in different specialties (Otolaryngology, Urology, General and Digestive Surgery, Gynecology or Thoracic Surgery) and in many different procedures belonging to each of them.

For example;

Otolaryngology; used to remove tumors of the tongue, pharynx, or larynx
Urology; used in cases affecting the prostate due to cancer or benign enlargement of the prostate. Also to treat bladder lithiasis and different pathologies derived from bladder or kidney cancer among other procedures.
General and Digestive Surgery; used in bariatric surgery, to treat gastric and intestinal cancer,…
Gynecology; it is used for the removal of fibroids or prolapses among others.
Thoracic surgery; to perform sympathectomies or pleurectomies among others.

What recovery time do I need in Spain?

You may need to stay in Spain between one week and one month for a successful recovery after the operation as recovery time will vary depending on the pathology for which you are treated. However, by means of this technique it is usually reduced considerably.

If you take medication of any kind not related to the surgery, do not forget to take with you the necessary amount for your stay in Spain, as well as the medical prescription that will allow you to travel with it without problems.

During treatment

Once you are in Spain, you will have to make an appointment with your specialist. During this visit, the doctor will open your medical record (for which you will be asked to provide all your medical documentation), perform a physical examination and tell you if any further tests are needed to confirm the diagnosis.
If it is not necessary and everything is confirmed, your doctor will tell you when you must go to the preoperative study and will confirm the time of admission for the day of your surgery.
If the surgeon has told you to stop taking any medication a few days before the surgery, such as anticoagulants, please do not forget to follow the exact instructions given by the doctor or you will not be able to have the operation!

After treatment

After being discharged from the hospital, you must follow your doctor’s instructions.
Remember that your recovery time will vary depending on your age, your physical condition, your lifestyle habits and your attitude!.
Keep in mind that your successful recovery also depends on you!
