Robotic Surgery
Robotic surgery revolutionises traditional surgical procedures, offering a more patient-friendly approach with minimal scarring and discomfort.
Its advanced minimally invasive techniques ensure speedy recovery, shorter hospital stays, and reduced strain on patients, making it a compelling choice for modern surgical treatment.
Dr Deanne stands at the forefront of Urological Robotic Surgery, distinguishing herself with an advanced level of training in Robotic Urological Surgery. Her interest in robotic surgery begun during her training as a urologist and was furthered during a dedicated robotic fellowship at Stepping Hill Hospital, England, where she continued her training before returning to Australia as a robotically trained Surgeon.
Dr Deanne's surgical expertise encompasses a range of robotic and laparoscopic procedures, offering definitive solutions to critical urological conditions. These procedures include:
Robotic Radical Prostatectomy, a surgical intervention for prostate cancer with a keen emphasis on preserving erectile function.
Robotic Radical Cystectomy, designed for bladder cancer removal with subsequent urinary tract diversion.
Robotic Partial Nephrectomy and Total Nephrectomy, tailored to eradicate kidney cancer.
Robotic Nephroureterectomy, targeting upper urinary tract cancer.
Robotic Pyeloplasty and Ureteric Re-implantation, providing relief for ureteric strictures.
Dr Deanne’s operates using the da Vinci robotic surgical system. This state-of-the-art technology enables minimally invasive surgeries, with miniaturised surgical instruments inserted into the abdomen via one to two centimetre incisions. Mounted onto three separate robotic arms, each instrument boasts seven degrees of freedom, offering Dr Deanne an unrivalled range of motion and accuracy.
A fourth robotic arm houses a magnified, high-definition 3-D camera, giving Dr Deanne an immersive, three-dimensional view of the operating site. Operated from a console within the operating room, Dr Deanne seamlessly commands the surgical instruments and the camera, replicating her precise movements with the robot. The da Vinci system replicates every movement Dr Deanne makes with the master controls, effectively functioning as a miniaturised extension of her hands.
