da Vinci robot

As I continue to teach private English lessons to surgeons in Istanbul, I feel grateful to learn about the new technology and surgical techniques now available in the field of medicine. Although the expertise of the surgeon certainly matters the most, advances in surgical and robotic technology, especially the minimally invasive da Vinci, provides more versatile surgical techniques to expert surgeons. Patients may benefit with a faster recovery time and a reduced need for painkillers. Some of my students operate the da Vinci robot for cardiac, thoracic, and proctologic surgeries at private hospitals in Istanbul. In addition, they write scientific journals and give presentations to compare robotic surgery to laparoscopy techniques. Although both are minimally invasive techniques, the da Vinci robot offers significant advantages. Unlike the drumstick-like laparoscopy, the da Vinci has a magnified 3D high-definition vision system and instruments that bend and rotate, allowing for enhanced vision, precision, dexterity, and control. In addition, the da Vinci offers simulations to both train and measure the performance of the surgeon. In the education of a surgeon, a robot can now determine mastery without the emotional influence of colleagues. Therefore, the new generation of surgeons can master the techniques before ever practicing on actual patients.
