Surgical treatment of kidney cancer: the da Vinci robot and FireFly technology

Most types of cancer do not cause any symptoms for a long time, as a result of which they are diagnosed in advanced stages. But this statement does not apply to kidney cancer. Almost half of cases of this cancer are detected at the first stage, so most patients can have their kidney cancer cured with minimally invasive surgery. Doctors abroad use not only open and laparoscopic surgery but also robotic operations using FireFly technology.

Da Vinci robot kidney surgery allows doctors to perform technically challenging procedures with better results, such as partial surgical removal of a single kidney or the surgical treatment of recurrent cancer.

Below are the benefits of robotic surgery for the patient compared to laparoscopic surgery:

• A higher likelihood of complete tumor removal in complex situations;
• A lower risk of complications;
• A lower chance of conversion to open surgery;
• A less traumatic surgical procedure;
• A shorter hospital stay and reduced recovery time.

The FireFly technology is an innovative technology for the treatment of kidney cancer that is mainly used for partial nephrectomy, the surgical removal of part of the kidney. Partial nephrectomy is performed in the early stages of cancer and in cases where a person has only one functioning kidney left.

Additional benefits of the FireFly technology include the following:

• It is easier for the doctor to distinguish tumor tissue from healthy tissue, so there is a higher probability of complete tumor removal with a partial nephrectomy;
• Blood loss is reduced as the risk of damage to large blood vessels is reduced;
• After tumor removal surgery, the FireFly technology allows doctors to evaluate the blood supply to the operated kidney, making sure that it is completely restored.

Robotic surgery for cancer requires special equipment and experienced specialists. You are welcome to use the Booking Health service if you need a good modern clinic abroad.
