Buenos Aires, December 22 (NA) — With the Da Vinci Xi and Mako SmartRobotics™ robotic systems, Sanatorio Finochietto is at the forefront of surgical technology, continuing its permanent advance in innovation, cutting-edge equipment, and a patient-centered care model.
Today, robotic surgery is one of the most technologically innovative areas in the surgical field. According to Argentine News Agency, since its incorporation into clinical practice, this technology has allowed for improved precision in surgeries and functional results, as well as reducing the morbidity associated with multiple procedures.
The sanatorium is equipped with the Da Vinci Xi system, a platform that enables minimally invasive interventions with greater precision and safety, optimizing patient recovery times.
Precision and 3D Vision in the Operating Room
With the Da Vinci Xi robot, the surgeon directs the robot's four arms from the console, minimizing involuntary hand movements. Thanks to its high-definition 3D vision technology, it is possible to visualize an enlarged image of the surgical area up to 10 times larger than its actual size. This allows for safer access to difficult-to-reach areas than conventional surgery. This platform is used in various specialties:
- Urology: the specialty with the most initial development.
- General Surgery: including colon, esophagus, abdominal wall, and bariatric surgeries.
- Other areas: gynecology, thorax, liver, pancreas, bile ducts, and neck.
Intelligent Robotics for Orthopedics
On the other hand, the Mako SmartRobotics™ system is the first robotic technology that can be applied across the entire joint replacement line, including hip and knee. This platform allows for the creation of personalized surgical plans based on 3D CT scans. The system combines three exclusive components:
- 3D Preoperative Planning: to accurately define the size and alignment of the implant.
- AccuStop™ Haptic Technology: a tactile communication system that informs the surgeon through resistance when approaching safety limits.
- Intelligent Data Analysis: real-time monitoring for a less invasive procedure and reduced postoperative pain.
The Doctor Always in Command
Despite the advanced equipment, control is always in the hands of the surgeon. These are tools that assist the medical professional, who is responsible for making all decisions during the procedure. To operate this equipment, professionals must obtain the corresponding certification.
Sanatorio Finochietto, inaugurated in 2013 by the ASE Social Work, was the first eco-sustainable sanatorium in Latin America. Inspired by the legacy of Dr. Enrique Finochietto, the center continues to solidify robotic surgery as a key piece to place the patient at the center of care.
