The future of medical is coming. For the first in Britain a patient has been operated for major cancer surgery by a robot! It was done using a £2million Da Vinci Xi robot, which has four arms for cutting tissue, sealing blood vessels and filming inside the body with a 3D camera. Dean Walter, 41, had a full pelvic extraction in which his bladder, prostate, rectum and lower colon were removed through a cut in his abdomen only 2in wide. The operation usually requires a surgeon and three assistants to cut the patient open from their chest to their groin. More efficient Usually It would have needed three weeks in hospital to recover from traditional surgery, but he was ready to go home eight days after the robotic procedure for rectal cancer. Two surgeons controlled the robot from consoles several feet away during the eight-hour procedure. Mr Walter, a father of one from Epsom in Surrey, was diagnosed with rectal cancer last year. Despite having radiotherapy and chemotherapy, the cancer spread to the lymph nodes in his pelvis, forcing surgeons to remove all the organs in his lower abdomen to eliminate the disease.

Two surgeons controlled the robot from consoles several feet away during the eight-hour procedure.

Colorectal specialist Shahnawaz Rasheed, who led the operation at the Royal Marsden Hospital in central London, said: ‘I’ve done this operation hundreds of times and the robot is going to end up making it much easier and better for the patient. ‘Mr Walter was days ahead in recovery compared to people who have open surgery because he did not have the trauma of a big hole cut in his abdomen and organs pushed and pulled about. Using a robot is much less for the body to bear.’

Dean Walter, 41, (pictured) became the first man ever to have surgery by robot in the UK on Monday.

Mr Rasheed controlled the robot to remove the rectum and part of the colon, while consultant urologist Pardeep Kumar extracted the prostate and bladder. You Might Also Like: Scientists Successfully Transplant Lab-grown Lungs Into Pigs.
