What is Robotic Assisted Laparoscopic Treatment?
Robotic laparoscopic surgery is a type of minimally-invasive surgery that allows for extensive surgery to be performed through small-sized abdominal incisions with the help of a small camera instead of large-sized open incisions that were used traditionally. The renowned Da Vinci robot is one of the primary types of robotic surgery platforms approved by the FDA and utilized by laparoscopic doctors, especially in gynecology surgery.
Treatments for Vesicoureteral Reflux (VUR)
Your urinary tract serves as the single route from the kidneys to the urethra. Vesicoureteral Reflux (VUR) is a condition in which the urine flow is abnormal and goes back to the ureters. Young children, infants, and even newborns are significantly affected by VUR. Typically, VUR is a short-term issue that is curable. The pain is also minimal. However, VUR can further lead to urinary tract infections.
As your child grows, the urinary tract also matures and grows. Therefore, it is believed that VUR will eventually resolve itself. Until then, a health specialist might suggest an antibiotic for treating the UTI or Urinary Tract Infection. Untreated vesicoureteral reflux in children is known to cause issues like bedwetting, protein in the urine, increased blood pressure, and constipation.
An expert will recommend surgical treatment of vesicoureteral reflux, especially for children with VUR who get frequent UTIs with severe reflux or kidney scarring. Most health experts will recommend vesicoureteral reflux reimplantation surgery or robotic assisted laparoscopic surgery. These are surgical techniques that repair the defect in the valve between the bladder and every affected ureter. An obstruction in the valve will keep the ureter from closing while also preventing urine from blowing in the backward direction.
"Surgical treatment of vesicoureteral reflux or VUR can be customized for every child, age, and indication. Robotic-assisted laparoscopic surgery delivers optimal precision with minimal recovery times."
When is Robotic Assisted Laparoscopic Treatment Required?
There are several advantages of vesicoscopic repair treatments. Vesicoscopic reimplant is the technique required for conducting ureteric reimplantation. When robotic-assisted laparoscopic surgery is performed, it involves robot-like instruments inside the bladder. Surgical treatment of vesicoureteral reflux or VUR can be customized for every child, age, and indication.
Risks and Recovery for Laparoscopic Treatment
Based on the child’s condition, the surgeon may choose to perform either robotic, laparoscopic, or open surgery. In the case of robotic assisted laparoscopic treatment, there is no risk. Moreover, the recovery process is also quicker in comparison to open surgery. Choose a skilled and experienced pediatric surgeon in Mumbai to ensure your child gets the best treatment.
Post-operative Instructions for Vesicoscopic Reimplantation
Most patients can go back home within 48 hours after the surgery. In rare cases, selective patients might have to spend some more time depending on the complexity of the procedure and the duration of surgery.
Precaution After Robotic Assisted Laparoscopic Surgery
After the Surgery, the pediatric laparoscopic surgeon and staff might prescribe you medicine to treat the overall pain. It is possible to minimize the overall risks of infection by following the guidelines below:
- Avoid touching your incision, and do not let others touch it either.
- Frequently wash your hands and request the staff attending to you and your visitors to do the same.
