00:00
We all know how important it is for us to take care of our health.
00:07
That's why, even though we are in the middle of medicine, we are still searching, studying,
00:11
and discovering ways to give solutions to different feelings.
00:16
And one of the latest technologies in medicine is what we call robotic surgery.
00:24
We will be joined by Dr. Camille Anabaya, an obstetrician and gynecologist.
00:32
Good morning, Dr. Camille.
00:33
Good morning.
00:37
First of all, what is robotic surgery and how does it help doctors?
00:44
Robotic surgery is a type of surgery where the diseased parts of our body are removed with small incisions.
00:54
So basically, we don't have to cut a large number of patients.
00:58
So, simply speaking, it offers us less pain and faster recovery.
01:04
That's what robotic surgery is.
01:06
So it's just a small incision?
01:08
Yes.
01:09
Or when there's a scar, it's just a small incision?
01:11
But mind you, it's not done by a robot.
01:14
It's done by a doctor with the help of the robotic platform.
01:20
So what are the advantages of going undergoing robotic surgery compared to traditional surgery?
01:27
Okay, so we mentioned that it's faster healing.
01:30
Because it's just a small incision, it heals faster.
01:34
Number two, faster recovery.
01:37
Before, we were in the hospital for three to five days.
01:41
Now, we can go home overnight if the patient wants to.
01:46
And also, aesthetically, it's better because the incision is smaller.
01:50
I'm an OB-GYN, so I'm dealing with women.
01:54
So we know that we want our women to have beautiful chins.
01:58
So you can still wear a swimsuit?
01:59
Correct.
02:01
Is this technology perfect?
02:04
Because, of course, doctors need training.
02:07
Yes.
02:08
If you're talking about the machine,
02:10
it's been FDA-approved in America since 2005.
02:15
So it's been around for a long time.
02:17
The robot has been with us even in the late 90s.
02:21
As to training,
02:24
if you've heard of laparoscopy or minimally invasive surgery,
02:29
if a doctor has the training,
02:31
it's faster for the patient to move into the robotic platform.
02:34
But how accurate is this machine?
02:37
It's very accurate.
02:39
It has an HD camera.
02:41
We can zoom in.
02:42
That's the misnomer.
02:43
People think it's better to open it because we can see everything better.
02:47
But that's not true.
02:49
If we have an HD camera that goes into the body,
02:51
we can zoom in better.
02:53
If the patient is open, this is all we can see.
02:56
Right?
02:57
But if we zoom in with the camera,
02:59
we can see better.
03:00
So that's the advantage.
03:02
That's how...
03:04
And then the movements are very precise.
03:07
It removes the tremor.
03:09
Surgeons have natural tremors, right?
03:12
It removes the tremors.
03:14
So it's more precise.
03:16
You're really an expert.
03:19
Doc, what are the conditions or women's diseases
03:23
that robotic surgery needs?
03:26
Yes.
03:27
Basically, all gynecologic conditions,
03:29
except for the cancers in the late stage,
03:33
we can do it with robotics.
03:35
These are the myomas.
03:37
These are the ovaries.
03:40
There are early cancers that we can remove.
03:43
People are surprised.
03:45
We can do a hysterectomy or remove a matress
03:47
using just those little incisions.
03:50
Sometimes, patients are surprised.
03:54
Doc, how is robotic surgery done?
03:57
What are the risks?
03:59
Is there a disadvantage?
04:02
I cannot think of a disadvantage.
04:04
Maybe the worst case is if the robot shuts down.
04:09
But we do have emergency situations for that.
04:12
So far, I've been doing robotic surgery in the Philippines
04:15
for 14 years.
04:16
Nothing like this has happened.
04:19
The risks are the same as the risks of open surgery.
04:25
Surgery is always a risk.
04:27
But to put robotic with an increased risk,
04:30
it's like nothing.
04:31
It's more of an advantage.
04:34
So 14 years of experience and training.
04:37
And Doc, for sure,
04:38
our other RSPs who have these kinds of conditions,
04:42
women's diseases,
04:44
would like robotic surgery.
04:46
Of course, there are many advantages.
04:48
But what is the range of this price, Doc?
04:51
It's almost the same as laparoscopy or minimally invasive.
04:57
Maybe, I'll leave that for them to ask.
05:01
I practice out of St. Luke's.
05:03
They can inquire there.
05:06
We have an information center there.
05:08
They can inquire.
05:09
Or if you go to the clinics of the robotic surgeons,
05:12
you will be given a price range depending on your disease.
05:16
On the severity and all that.
05:19
Well, here in the Philippines,
05:20
because this technology is a bit new,
05:23
are there many hospitals in our country that have this?
05:27
It's increasing.
05:29
But I'd like to say that St. Luke's was the first to have robotic surgery.
05:37
They're offering robotic surgery.
05:39
Now, we have both in BGC and QC.
05:42
So we have two robots already.
05:44
Before, for the longest time, we only had one.
05:47
And then, other bigger hospitals in Metro Manila,
05:50
and I believe in Mindanao,
05:52
we already have one.
05:55
All right.
05:56
Doc, last question.
05:57
I'll take this opportunity.
05:59
What is your message to women as OB-GYNs?
06:04
Yes.
06:05
To take care of themselves.
06:06
Okay.
06:07
So, if you have a women's disease like myoma,
06:10
ovarian cyst, or early cancers,
06:13
don't be afraid to go to a doctor.
06:16
Because now, with what we have discussed,
06:19
there are new technologies that allow quick recovery.
06:24
It's not painful.
06:25
The downtime, maybe just two weeks,
06:28
you're up and about and you're ready to go already.
06:30
Overnight, I can send you home.
06:32
So, don't be afraid, and you explore your options.
06:35
When they say for operation,
06:37
you can ask if there are other types,
06:41
such as robotic surgery,
06:42
so that your disease can be cured.
06:44
There are so many options.
06:45
Yes.
06:46
Doc, thank you very much for all the information
06:48
that you shared with us this morning.
06:50
Thank you also for the free telemedicine.
