I Be Worried About The Robotic Procedure Of Surgery?
Hello and thank you. :) I am not really nervous and won t be until the day before surgery. I am having the Robotic procedure and at this point the recovery is what is freaking me out a little. I am concerned that my bladder may fall. Is this a normal worry and should I be? Also what 5 things can you tell me about the procedure itself and recovery?

Hello and welcome to HCM,
Robotic surgery is similar to conventional surgery.
The difference is that the actual procedure is performed by robotic arms.
However, the robotic arms are controlled by the surgeon.
Thus, the procedure depends on the expertise of the surgeon.
The robotic arms cannot do anything on its own.
The procedure and recovery is similar to that in convectional surgery.
Do not worry, the procedure is safe.
Thanks and take care
