For patients needing surgery for a gastric condition, Dr. Lyass offers the innovative da Vinci Robotic Surgery system. This system utilizes a robotic aid to complete a laparoscopic procedure which is minimally invasive. Los Angeles area patients can receive treatment at one of Dr. Lyass’s three locations: Glendale, Marina del Rey, and Beverly Hills.
The da Vinci Robotic Surgery system is a type of surgical procedure which employs the use of robotic arms and guided instruments to perform a minimally invasive laparoscopic procedure. The da Vinci System provides doctors with a magnified 3D high-definition vision system and small-wristed instruments which rotate and bend much more than the human hand is capable of. The procedure lets the surgeon operate with enhanced precision, vision, and control. The da Vinci technology uses the surgeon’s hand movements to guide the instruments which translate them to smaller, precise movements. The system is powered by robotic technology which employs laparoscopic instruments known as trochars. A laparoscope is used to send live images to a video monitor which guide the doctor’s movements during surgery.
For those who medicine or lifestyle changes have not helped their colorectal condition, this surgery can be a good option. Colorectal conditions treated include:
Surgery to remove all or part of the colon, or a colectomy, and rectal cancer surgery to remove part or all or the rectum can be done using open surgery which requires one large incision or they can be performed laparoscopically. Laparoscopy is minimally invasive surgery and this surgery is robotic-assisted when using the da Vinci system.
Minimally-invasive techniques such as the laparoscopic da Vinci system will require a shorter duration of recovery time. Depending in the type of surgery performed, patients can experience some discomfort at the incision sites and possibly internally. This can be managed with medication. For more information about the procedure and whether it will be right for you, contact the office to schedule a consultation with the doctor.
