Wow!! If you have a opportunity to have robotic surgery, it is the way to go! So much less evasive, so precise and faster recovery!! Loved it!

Glad to hear, I'm having mine done on Wednesday with a robot to. I heard it's much nicer of a recovery also. Did you still have the 5 incisions, or just 1?

Robotic surgery is the new future of surgery. It has movements that a doctor simply cannot make but can simulate via the console. It also eliminates human error. Not so sure about less invasive since we use the same amount of trocar incision sites as non-robot surgeries at least we do at my hospital. I'm glad to hear that your receovery time was less time though!

I read that the spider robotic technique is one incision.

I have 6 incisions. My Dr. Said less invasive because all moves inside are precise and minimal.

I am not sure I would trust my life ( yet) to robotic surgery. What happens if there is a bug or glitch in the robotic firmware that causes complications that a skill human surgeon would never make. And it leads to serious complications or even death. Who is responsible? As a professional software developer of mission critical software, I know there will always be glitches because the developers are only human. Just something to ponder...

But the doctors performing surgery are only human as well. :) I'd absoluuuuuuuuuuutely trust a robot over a human!!!
