If you’d like to discuss any symptoms or concerns with Mr Youssef or would just like a second opinion, you can call, email or book an appointment here.
Mr Haney Youssef
Advanced robotically assisted approaches
Mr Youssef will use the state-of-the-art da Vinci robotic surgical console to help him carry out minimally invasive surgery. It’s his robotic assistant and he’s always in control - the robot can’t move independently.
Robotic bowel cancer resection
Mr Youssef will control robotic instruments to remove cancerous tissue from your colon or rectum. A high-definition 3D view and advanced features such as tremor filtering will help him to increase precision and control.
A minimally invasive approach means you’ll have significantly less tissue trauma, blood loss and post-operative pain than with open surgery thanks to greater precision and smaller incisions. That means smaller scars, a shorter stay in hospital and, in most cases, a quicker recovery compared to traditional procedures.
Of course, as with any surgery, there are still some potential risks, but Mr Youssef will discuss these with you and explain how they compare with traditional approaches.
As mentioned, robotic bowel cancer resection recovery is often quicker than open surgery. You’ll have a shorter hospital stay and can typically be home in just a few days. You’ll be able to return to your normal activities within a few weeks.
Robotic benign bowel surgery
Robotic benign bowel surgery is a minimally invasive procedure performed by Mr Youssef. Using the da Vinci robotic system, he’s able to treat non-cancerous conditions of the colon and rectum, such as diverticulitis and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).
For procedures such as benign bowel surgery, a robotic approach can help preserve healthy tissue and reduce the risk of complications compared to traditional surgery. The greater precision and smaller incisions means smaller scars, a shorter stay in hospital and, in most cases, a quicker recovery compared to traditional procedures.
Of course, as with any surgery, there are still some potential risks, but Mr Youssef will discuss these with you and explain how they compare with traditional approaches.
As mentioned, robotic benign bowel surgery recovery is often faster than open procedures. You’ll have a shorter hospital stay and can typically be home in just a few days. You’ll be able to return to your normal activities within a few weeks.
Robotic hernia repair
Robotic hernia repair is a minimally invasive surgical procedure, during which Mr Youssef will control robotic arms from a console to repair your hernia. This is performed through a few small incisions in your abdomen, rather than one larger incision used in open surgery.
This approach, with its enhanced 3D visualisation, offers Mr Youssef greater precision and dexterity while performing the procedure. It requires smaller incisions, which can help to reduce pain, blood loss and scarring.
Recovery is typically quicker than with open surgery, and you should be able to get back to your usual activities within a few days to a week. Full recovery usually takes around four to six weeks, and you should avoid heavy lifting and vigorous exercise for about six weeks.
Robotic cholecystectomy
Robotic cholecystectomy is a minimally invasive procedure to remove your gallbladder. Mr Youssef uses the da Vinci robotic system to perform the operation through a few small incisions in your abdomen, rather than the larger incision used in open surgery.
Because of the small incisions, robotic gallbladder removal usually involves less pain, reduced blood loss and smaller scars. The robotic procedure also offers Mr Youssef more precision and control, which can further reduce the chance of complications compared to traditional surgical techniques.
The recovery timeline for robotic gallbladder surgery is typically shorter than with open surgery because the procedure is less invasive. You should be able to return to light activities within a few days and to work within a week, depending on your recovery and the type of job you do.
