Robotic Surgery Is Now Available at St. Luke's Medical Center Global City

-
Speaking before the Rotary Club of Makati Dasmarinas on January 28, 2015, Dr, Rebecca Singson of St. Luke's Medical Center in Global City introduced the new method of surgery which can be used in operating cancer and ob-gyn patients.  This new method uses ultra-modern technology which is the surgical robot.  The Da Vinci Si surgical robot is the answer to surgery woes because of the many benefits it gives to patients.  With robotic surgery, the patient would not have to stay in the hospital for a lengthy recovery period.  One example that Dr. Singson cited was a jogger who was up and was jogging again just 30 days after a hysterectomy by robotic operation.  



In addition to  faster healing time, the low risk of infection and complication is a plus too.  The surgical robot has four arms to precisely and accurately move inside the human body without cutting it open.   The arms of the surgical robot moves inside the human body according to the movements of the surgeon's hands.  This is how robotic surgery works.  Robotic surgery is like operating on a patient remotely.  Without any external exposure and with its accuracy of movements, bleeding is prevented and infection is avoided.






Dr. JV Prodigalidad is the male counterpart of Dr. Rebecca Singson.  Dr. Prodigalidad specializes in male prostate diseases.  Like Dr. Singson, Dr. Prodigalidad also promotes robotic surgery for men having problems in their prostate for the same reasons that Dr. Singson has.  A lot of patients are asking about the cost of this type of operation, of course, like any top-of-the-line, high-end product, it comes with a price, for now.  However, the benefits of robotic surgery far out weigh the price.  Consider missing months of work from traditional open surgery and the risk of bleeding and infection.   


Dr. Rebecca Singson and Dr. JV Prodigalidad entertainin questions during their talk before the Rotary Club of Makati Dasmarinas.


Want to minimize pain in your operation?  Consider robotic surgery and be up and about in just a week.  Avoid a long recuperation, bleeding, and infection.

Circle of Fun is the Latest attraction in Quezon City Memorial Circle

I was in Quezon Memorial Circle this afternoon and I chanced upon this mini amusement center currently being constructed inside the big Quezon City landmark.  This new attraction at the QCMC showcases thrilling rides like the Wild Wind.  This is actually like the Space Shuttle of Enchanted Kingdom in Santa Rosa, Laguna.  It is a modified form of the traditional roller-coaster.  There are also rides for the little ones like the usual water bump cars.  And the horror rides which I will dare not ride because I do not have the kind of heart that can withstand intense fear.   While I laud the Quezon City government for this endeavor of providing a small amusement park for the residents of Quezon City so that they do not have to go all the way to Star City or Enchanted Kingdom to be able to experience the different rides, I can't help but feel dismayed over the changes in the scenery inside the memorial.  I frequented the place way, way back whe...

    One of the reasons that tourists go to Mt. Mayon in droves is the ATV Adventure.   This activity allows tourists to go to the foot of Mt.  Mayon and see the beauty of this great lady up close by means of an all-terrain vehicle.  Up there, visitors can also enjoy the view of the city of Legaspi.  They can also savor the scent of the clean mountain air and get lots and lots of photographs amid the verdant background.  ATV stands for all-terrain vehicle.  This transportation is especially built to enable riders to get past all kinds of terrain , may it be rough, rocky, watery, sandy, muddy, hilly, etc.  It is basically automatic, but it also has gears (I wouldn't know when to use them, if you ask me.)    Before I started my three-hour drive to the foot of Mt. Mayon, I had a quick dry-run just to test if the machine was working well.  Also I made sure that  I was wearing all the necessary gears to keep me sa...

While enjoying my breakfast of adobong baboy and hot beef soup in Mam and Sir Diner located along the high way in Silay City, I noticed that most of the people around me were mestizas and mestizos so the curiouser I got about the history, not only of Silay but also of Negros Occidental. Silay City is also known as the Paris of Negros because of the well-preserved old haciendas , about 30 of them, that provide a glimpse of life back when it was the leading sugar-producer in the country, examples of these are the Balay Negrense and the Bernardino-Ysabel Jalandoni Home which have been turned into museums for guests to appreciate the history and the culture of the town especially during when hacienderos were the leading figures of society. The Balay Negrense boasts of memorabilia and architectural features dating back 1897 when it was built by Victor F. Gaston, son of Yves Leopold Germain Gaston, a Frenchman who married a Batanguena and later on relocated to Negros. Balay Neg...
