Thanks Dr from ireland 🇮🇪. That was very informative. I'm not looking forward to 01/03/23. After 25 year's of chronic bacterial prostatitis it's finally being removed. The bit that scares me the most is the spinal anesthetic. That part gives me the shivers.
How can one know if your surgeon is extremely competent in operating the surgical robot? I am an engineer and I'm an expert on 3d CAD modeling. I have over 10,000 hours on CAD equipment and understand the nuances of the software that even the manufacturer was interested in. Only time and mileage gave me that competency. How can I know the competency of my surgeon and his time in the "cockpit" with these machines. I'm firmly convinced that the robotic interface is the way to go, but, the human operating the robot is the key to a successful surgery.......any help would be appreciated.
Great question. The truth is that it can be very difficult to know for sure. All you can do is ask your surgeon the volume of cases they do regularly, their total volume and their training. Hope this helps👌🏻
That's a difficult one. I had my prostate removed in November 2021. In the UK you can check online to find the experience of the surgeon. Mine had done quite a few prostatectomy ops. The problem is if only very experienced surgeons perform these procedures then then eventually we will run out. I'm guessing there is adequate monitoring in the early stages.
