General Surgery Home About Us Our Hospital Our Technology General Surgery Overview General surgery is a broad medical field involving the diagnosis and pre-operative, operative, and post-operative management of injuries and diseases in various parts of the body, with an emphasis on acute abdominal problems. Surgical procedures at the Reliance Foundation Hospital are safe and effective owing to the introduction of the latest technologies, such as robotic surgery.The General Surgery team at the Reliance Foundation Hospital specialises in minimally invasive medical procedures (procedures that are designed to cause least possible trauma to the body; e.g., use of small incisions instead of large cuts to access the internal organs). The General Surgery Department of the Reliance Foundation Hospital is equipped with advanced surgical technology that enables the accurate diagnosis and effective treatment and management of various medical conditions. Da Vinci Surgical Robot The da Vinci Robotic Xi installed at the Reliance Foundation Hospital is a top-of-the-line advanced surgical system that enables minimally invasive procedures with enhanced precision and dexterity. It utilises robotic arms and a high-definition 3D camera to assist surgeons in performing complex surgeries with improved outcomes and reduced patient recovery time. Key features of the da Vinci Xi system are:Robotic Arms: The da Vinci Xi system consists of multiple robotic arms that are controlled by the surgeon. These arms can hold and manipulate surgical instruments with a high degree of precision and dexterity.Console: The surgeon operates the system from a console, which provides a 3D high-definition view of the surgical site. The surgeon’s hand movements are translated into precise movements of the robotic arms, allowing for enhanced control.Endoscopic Camera: The system includes an endoscopic camera that provides a magnified, high-resolution view of the surgical field. This allows the surgeon to visualise the area in detail, even in hard-to-reach locations.Instrumentation: The da Vinci Xi system offers a wide range of surgical instruments, which are designed to mimic the movement of the surgeon’s hand and provide greater precision during surgery.Enhanced Visualisation: The system provides enhanced visualisation capabilities, including 3D imaging and high-definition video. This helps the surgeon see anatomical structures more clearly and facilitates precise surgical manoeuvres.Wristed Instruments: The robotic arms of the da Vinci Xi system allow for increased range of motion and manoeuvrability. This feature enables surgeons to perform complex manoeuvres with enhanced precision.Intuitive Control: The system translates the surgeon’s hand movements into precise movements of the robotic arms, providing a high level of control and precision during surgery. The system’s software and hardware work together to minimise tremors and enhance stability.
