Question 1

What are the advantages of robotic surgery over traditional open surgery for cancer?

Accepted Answer

Robotic oncological surgery offers several advantages, including smaller incisions, reduced blood loss, less postoperative pain, shorter hospital stays (typically 1 to 3 days versus 5 to 7 for open surgery), and faster recovery. The da Vinci surgical system provides surgeons with enhanced 3D visualization and greater dexterity, allowing more precise tumor removal while preserving surrounding healthy tissue and critical structures such as nerves and blood vessels. This precision is particularly important in prostate and kidney cancer surgeries.

Question 2

How long should I plan to stay abroad after robotic cancer surgery?

Accepted Answer

Most patients can plan for a total stay of 10 to 14 days abroad. This includes preoperative consultations and imaging (1 to 2 days), the surgery itself (1 day), hospital recovery (1 to 3 days), and a postoperative observation period before clearance to fly (5 to 7 days). Your surgical team will perform a final check-up and provide a detailed discharge summary that your home physician can use for ongoing follow-up care. Pathology reports are typically available within 7 to 10 days and can be shared electronically.
