The Almaty Oncology Center introduced robotic technologies to perform complex operations and automate the provision of medications to patients. The new equipment was presented to the Minister of Health Akmaral Alnazarova. Robotic systems are used at several stages of treatment at once - from surgery to storage, preparation and dispensing of medications, Tech-news reports. Small Incision Surgeries The robotic surgical system allows complex, minimally invasive surgeries to be performed through small punctures instead of large incisions. During the intervention, the surgeon receives an enlarged three-dimensional image of the surgical field, thanks to which he can see the vessels and nerves in detail. The system ensures high precision of instrument movements and compensates for the tremor of the surgeon’s hands. According to experts, the use of this technology helps reduce the risk of damage to large vessels, reduce the need for blood transfusions, as well as the likelihood of postoperative complications, inflammation and infections. For patients, the minimally invasive approach means less pain after surgery, shorter hospital stay and faster recovery.
tion. Robots monitor medications Another area of automation is related to drug provision. The oncology center operates a robotic pharmacy complex and a closed drug preparation system. The technology automates the entire process - from receiving and storing medications to preparing and dispensing them to patients. Each package is assigned an individual digital identification. Thanks to this, specialists can trace the path of the drug and record all actions with it at each stage. More than 38 thousand patients are registered Today in Almaty more than 38 thousand patients with cancer are registered. Over 27 thousand people receive medical care every year. Over the past eight years, the volume of medical services in the field of oncology has increased 2.5 times. Over the same period, the five-year survival rate for patients increased from 46% to 75%. According to the head of the Almaty Public Health Department, Marat Pashimov, robotization can improve the accuracy of surgical interventions, the safety of drug supply and control at different stages of patient treatment. The oncology center notes that the implementation of such solutions is part of systematic work on pov
improving the quality and safety of medical care. The post Robots help perform surgeries and monitor medications at the Almaty cancer center appeared first on Tech news.
