Is laparoscopy necessary in the era of robotic surgery?!

Laparoscopy is a modern surgical method in which large-scale operations are performed without large incisions.
Advantages of the laparoscopic method:

• Quick rehabilitation,
• Small scars,
• Absence of postoperative pain,
• Operation under video control,
• Short hospital stay (1 day).

The success of such an operation largely depends on the qualifications of the operator and the equipment used for laparoscopy.
“Karazanashvili Robotic Center” is equipped with the latest laparoscopic equipment, and operations are performed only by highly qualified surgeons with extensive experience.

However, laparoscopy has many disadvantages:

1. Inconvenience of the equipment
2. Ergonomic problems of the surgeon
3. Imperfect synchronous action of the surgeon’s hands and eyes
4. Discomfort during the surgeon’s assistance
5. During laparoscopy, the surgeon controls only 2 instruments, while with the help of a robot, the surgeon controls 4instruments instead of 2.
6. Long training period for surgeons
7. Inability to use modern achievements of digital science

Based on the above, laparoscopy is a dying technology in the era of robotic surgery!
