Our hospital introduced the da Vinci robot not long ago to perform weight loss surgery. For such a new high-tech device, many patients want to know if it will be expensive to use this machine to do the surgery, and indeed, there is an increase in the price compared to the previous traditional surgical methods. This includes the start-up fee as well as the actual cost of consumables during surgery, which constitutes a basic price system for da Vinci surgery. “Abroad, a da Vinci robot only costs 1-1.5 million dollars, however, the price of selling it to the country is as high as 20 million yuan, and there is also a high annual maintenance cost for the machine.” In addition, the robot’s robotic arm is a high-value consumables, the use of the robot is temporarily installed on top of the robot, each arm can not continue to use after 10 times, the price of the arm is about 100,000 yuan each. Therefore, patients need to pay a certain amount more in the cost of robotic surgery. But the advent of da Vinci surgical robots, really solved a lot of problems, of which the cavity technology is a typical representative, in the past, because the doctor used the instruments are still the traditional common cavity equipment, resulting in the operation process is more difficult to grasp the precise operation, and the operation is very uncomfortable, the real intracardiac operation is still required to complete the auxiliary incision of the chest wall. At this point, the da Vinci Surgical Robot can overcome the deficiencies of laparoscopic technology and pursue a better experience of minimally invasive surgery. At the same time, the da Vinci surgical robot has a high-definition three-dimensional field of view, good maneuverability, high precision and stability, free movement of the “robotic hand” can mimic the function of the human hand, in the operation can enable the surgeon to get rid of the narrow abdominal and pelvic space on the limitations of the surgical field of view and surgical operation, so that the surgeon can more clearly observe a variety of This enables the surgeon to observe more clearly various anatomical structures and improve the precision and stability of surgical operations, especially fine operations. For the patients, the surgery is less traumatic, the postoperative recovery is faster, the hospitalization time is shorter, the surgical bleeding is less, and the incision is smaller and more hidden, which increases the aesthetics. So it’s worth it to do weight loss surgery with the da Vinci Surgical Robot, even though it’s a little more expensive!
