The da Vinci surgical robot supports doctors in Moers. Patient Jürgen Hartung has already benefited from the new technology.
Jürgen Hartung is happy and well again. A tumor was discovered in the 72-year-old Moerser during a routine colonoscopy, as the St. Josef Hospital in Moers is now reporting.
The examinations showed that it was a carcinoma in the rectum (rectum) that had to be surgically removed. dr Marc Alexander Renter, chief physician at the clinic for general and visceral surgery at the Moers St. Josef Hospital, performed the operation with the da Vinci surgical robot.
According to the announcement, Jürgen Hartung enthusiastically explains: “Only four small holes remained, which quickly grew over. I was able to walk around the first day after the operation and normal food was already available on the third post-operative day.”
Minimally invasive operations such as this intestinal operation by Jürgen Hartung enable faster recovery with a shorter hospital stay and fewer complications. “In tumor surgery, our patients have been benefiting from the advantages of minimally invasive surgical techniques for many years. Robot-assisted operating systems bring further possibilities. The further improved view and the unbelievable precision of the instruments allow us to carry out even highly complex tumor operations on the intestine, liver and pancreas safely and with high quality in a minimally invasive manner,” reports Dr. pensioner.
In any case, patient Jürgen Hartung is very satisfied and gives top marks: “I felt completely fine.” The only downside was that one of his grandchildren had contracted Corona and was unable to visit his grandfather in the hospital. Grandpa and grandson are now catching up because Jürgen Hartung is back at home with his family five days after his operation.
