Surgery is one of the best courses of treatment for breast cancer. Robotic surgery, in particular, is a technologically advanced treatment option that has shown extremely promising results. This blog explores the why’s and how’s of robotic surgery for breast cancer with a focus on how Apollo Cancer Centres have pioneered this technology to offer the best in surgical oncology.
What is Robotic Surgery for Breast Cancer
Why Robotic Surgery
- Micro-Precision It goes without saying that robotic systems provide a high degree of precision, which matters a lot when it comes to surgery. Surgery is an intricate affair and it is important to have as minimal disruption as possible to surrounding healthy tissue.
- Better Cancer Control Owing to the accuracy of robotic surgery, cancerous tissues can be targeted and removed, bringing down the chances of cancer recurring.
- Reduced Risk of Infection & Blood LossThe risk of infections and amount of blood loss also goes down as incisions tend to be as small as possible.
- Faster Recovery
- Reduced Hospital Stay Patients are required to stay at the hospital for a shorter period of time.
- Less Pain and Scarring Another benefit of smaller and precise incisions is that post-operative pain and scarring are much less.
