Robotic gastrectomy
Like laparoscopy, it goes in through small holes, but the surgeon controls the arms of a surgical robot to carry out removal and lymph node dissection. The arms bend and the view is magnified, which suits delicate work.
Background: Professor Woo Jin Hyung of Severance Hospital is reported by Korean media to be the doctor with the most robotic stomach cancer operations in the world[1]
| Advantages | Limitations |
|---|---|
| Small wounds; A magnified three-dimensional view and bendable instruments make fine lymph node dissection easier | Costs clearly more than laparoscopy; Long-term advantages over laparoscopy are still being studied |
