Using Da Vinci SP robots for hernia surgery...Pain and scar reduction effect
Jan 05, 2025
Hernia refers to a symptom in which the intestine that should be in the abdominal cavity protrudes or exits through other tissues. Factors such as innate, radical exercise, and an increase in abdominal pressure due to chronic cough are diverse.
In particular, the possibility of hernia increases in the elderly, whose muscles, including the abdominal wall, weaken. Surgery is necessary, but laparotomy is apparently burdensome for the elderly. Hernia surgery is also possible with laparoscopic (invasive). More satisfactory results can be obtained if the accuracy and sophistication of robotic surgery equipment are added than general laparoscopy. In the case of the latest 4th generation Da Vinci SP robot surgery, it has additional advantages in reducing pain and scarring after surgery because it is operated with a single hole in the navel.
In the meantime, surgery such as a hernia using Da Vinci SP robot at Sejong Hospital in Incheon is attracting attention as it increases the satisfaction of patients.
According to Incheon Sejong Hospital, Lee Sang-myung (surgery) is actively performing surgeries such as hernia, appendix, and gallbladder using Da Vinci SP robots.
It is also showing its true value in emergency medical fields, such as performing cholecystectomy using Da Vinci SP on the day of the visit for patients who visited the emergency room due to chest pain.
Lee Sang-myung is an authority who has conducted surgical operations in this field such as laparoscopy and robots for more than 20 years.
In particular, he succeeded in the first TEP robot hernia surgery in Incheon in 2023.
Intraperitoneal approach (TEP), laparoscopy is a surgical method in which a laparoscope is inserted between the peritoneal and retroperitoneal walls without being inserted into the abdominal cavity, and the sheath is approached by performing a detachment while injecting gas.
Since surgery is performed outside the abdominal cavity, there is no risk of intraperitoneal damage, while the lack of surgical space requires high proficiency of the surgeon.
Here, Da Vinci SP equipment played a more important role by shortening surgery time and increasing sophistication than simple laparoscopy.
Manager Lee Sang-myung received the attention of medical staff by presenting the surgical method at the '2024 Korean Hospital Laparoscopic Surgery Association (KLSAC, Chairman Jung Seung-gyu) Comprehensive Academic Conference' held last month.
In October last year, Mijutani Fumitoshi (professional doctor and surgeon) from Ekisai Hospital in Nagoya, Japan, visited the hospital and learned techniques by observing Lee Sang-myung's Da Vinci SP robot hernia surgery.
Surgery using da Vinci robots is already a global trend. In Japan, health insurance is also covered only for some surgeries.
In Korea, starting with the first introduction of equipment in 2005, it has surpassed 50,000 surgical operations last year, catching up with global trends.
Incheon Sejong Hospital, which launched the Robot Surgery Center in 2023, introduced the latest Da Vinci SP robot equipment that enables minimally invasive surgery with a single ball.
The Da Vinci SP is the latest model among the fourth-generation models. Currently, only about 20 hospitals and clinics in Korea have been distributed.
Unlike the existing model, which requires three to four incision windows, surgery with only one incision window helps patients recover quickly and reduces the number of surgical scarring marks to improve aesthetic satisfaction.
The camera that looks into the affected area in real time increases flexibility by adding multiple joints along with a full HD three-dimensional visual function. Since it moves freely in a narrow space in the body, it is easy to secure a surgical field of view, and it is possible to shorten the operation time.
Lee Sang-myung, head of the medical department, said "He has been skilled in laparoscopic surgery for decades. Adding to this the advantages of the latest Da Vinci SP robot equipment has created a great synergy"Davinci SP is free to operate robot arms and cameras and has a good view of the surgical site. You can check the blind spots, so more sophisticated and accurate surgery is possible."
He then emphasized that `Davinci SP makes the surgeon comfortable above all else' and"this eventually increases delicacy and, as a result, improves surgery results, thereby increasing patient satisfaction.'
