Small intestine cancer Treatment in Robotic Surgery Center in St. Zdislava Hospital
About the clinic
Treatment for small intestine cancer at the Robotic Surgery Center in St. Zdislava Hospital in Mostiště, Czech Republic, combines precise diagnostics with advanced robot-assisted surgery. Diagnostic procedures like gastroscopy with biopsy cost around $600, while a colonoscopy is typically around $1,500–$1,700. The facility is the largest robotic surgery center in the country and holds SAK accreditation from the Czech United Accreditation Commission.
Advanced robotic treatment
The primary treatment for small intestine cancer at the hospital is robotic bowel surgery. This method uses the original da Vinci Surgical System from Intuitive Surgical to perform a resection of the affected bowel area. The surgical team has performed 4,500+ robot-assisted operations since 2008, with over 500 procedures conducted every year.
Robotic surgery offers several clinical benefits for patients with intestinal tumors:
- Minimally invasive access. Smaller incisions lead to less trauma for the body.
- Reduced blood loss. The robotic system allows for high precision during the procedure.
- Shorter hospital stay. Most patients remain in the hospital for up to 1 week.
- Faster recovery. Patients typically return to their daily activities sooner than with open surgery.
Expertise of the surgical team
The robotic surgery team is led by MUDr. Jaroslav Tvarůžek, who serves as the head of the center. Dr. Tvarůžek has performed 3,100+ robotic surgeries and holds international certificates for these operations. Intuitive Surgical, the manufacturer of the da Vinci system, officially recommends Dr. Tvarůžek for robotic procedures.
