Dr. Dennis Larock<\/a>M\u00e9dico Chefe de Servi\u00e7os Cir\u00fargicos, Chefe de Cirurgia Rob\u00f3tica e Co-Chefe de Urologia na Southcoast Health.<\/p>\n\n\n\nO Dr. Larock explicou-lhe os exames de Butch, assegurando-se de que ele compreendia perfeitamente o seu estado e de que todas as suas perguntas eram respondidas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nunca um m\u00e9dico tinha feito isso por mim\", diz ele. \"O Dr. Larock analisou todas as imagens tiradas e explicou tudo. Ele p\u00f4s-me mesmo \u00e0 vontade. De tal forma que, apesar de estar perante um diagn\u00f3stico assustador, fiquei otimista em rela\u00e7\u00e3o ao meu tratamento.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Butch foi diagnosticado com cancro renal. O Dr. Larock explicou a Butch que iria realizar uma cirurgia rob\u00f3tica para remover a \u00e1rea afetada do seu rim. A cirurgia rob\u00f3tica efectuada com o rob\u00f4 da Vinci Xi - o mais recente e avan\u00e7ado sistema da Vinci - permitiria incis\u00f5es mais pequenas, menos cicatrizes, maior precis\u00e3o e exatid\u00e3o e um tempo de recupera\u00e7\u00e3o mais r\u00e1pido. O Dr. Larock tamb\u00e9m disse a Butch que, se a fun\u00e7\u00e3o renal estivesse comprometida, o rim teria de ser removido atrav\u00e9s de um procedimento aberto. Apesar desta not\u00edcia, Butch disse que o Dr. Larock o fez sentir-se completamente seguro e otimista em rela\u00e7\u00e3o ao procedimento que se aproximava.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ap\u00f3s a cirurgia, quando Butch acordou da anestesia, o Dr. Larock estava \u00e0 sua cabeceira para o informar que tinham de remover o rim. Butch diz que se sentiu aliviado e seguro de que a sua equipa de cuidados tomou a decis\u00e3o certa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
O passo seguinte de Butch foi a t\u00e3o necess\u00e1ria cirurgia \u00e0 ves\u00edcula biliar. Quando questionado sobre a sua recupera\u00e7\u00e3o de tr\u00eas meses e o stress de enfrentar problemas de sa\u00fade t\u00e3o assustadores, Butch diz: \"N\u00e3o foi assim t\u00e3o mau. Mais uma vez, sinto que o Dr. Larock e a minha equipa de cuidados de sa\u00fade me puseram \u00e0 vontade e n\u00e3o havia nada com que me preocupar.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Atualmente, Butch sente-se bem. Continua a andar de bicicleta e a pintar diariamente no seu est\u00fadio. Talvez quando o tempo aquecer, possamos ver Butch a fazer espect\u00e1culos de m\u00fasica na comunidade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cirurgia rob\u00f3tica na Southcoast Health<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nSa\u00fade no Sudeste investe continuamente<\/a> nas tecnologias cir\u00fargicas rob\u00f3ticas mais avan\u00e7adas para cuidar dos nossos pacientes. Estas ferramentas minimamente invasivas incluem Rob\u00f4 Stryker Mako<\/a> para pr\u00f3teses totais da anca e do joelho<\/a>, bem como o Rob\u00f4s da Vinci Xi<\/a>como a utilizada nos cuidados de Butch McCarthy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\"O acesso \u00e0 mais recente tecnologia em cirurgia rob\u00f3tica proporciona grandes benef\u00edcios aos doentes\", afirma o Dr. Larock. \"Menos invasiva do que os procedimentos tradicionais, a cirurgia rob\u00f3tica permite que os pacientes recuperem e regressem \u00e0s suas actividades normais mais rapidamente.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Os investimentos tecnol\u00f3gicos s\u00e3o apenas algumas das muitas maneiras pelas quais a Southcoast continua a demonstrar o seu compromisso com a comunidade, garantindo que os pacientes tenham acesso oportuno e conveniente a cuidados abrangentes excepcionais perto de casa.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":20,"featured_media":4331,"template":"","categories":[1231],"class_list":["post-17984","news","type-news","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-patient-stories"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
