In Forbes Brasil: the robotics that is changing cancer surgery

In Forbes Brasil's special report on robotics, Dr. Bruno Benigno was the expert interviewed on robotic surgery. He explained how the precision of the Da Vinci system helps remove the tumor while preserving the nerves responsible for erection and urinary continence — and how artificial intelligence will change surgery in the coming years.

“With the arrival of artificial intelligence in robots, it will be possible to predict who will recover faster, as well as to distinguish nerves from tumors during surgery.”

Dr. Bruno Benigno, to Forbes Brasil
  • The avocado analogy: removing the pit without damaging the flesh — the challenge of preserving nerves during prostatectomy.
  • Millimetric precision: magnified vision and fine movements, with faster recovery and less bleeding.
  • Access in Brazil: the report points to roughly 1 surgical robot for every 1.3 million inhabitants.
