Deborah Speirs was diagnosed with stage three bowel cancer in March 2021 and, thanks to the innovative surgery and a dose of chemotherapy, she has now been given the all-clear.
A cancer patient from Glasgow has praised NHS staff after undergoing robotic surgery she says saved her life.
Deborah said she is grateful for all the care she received from the NHS at the GRI, and is convinced that the robotic surgery saved her life. “I met with Prof Roxburgh and he explained everything in detail and I was happy to go ahead with it. The technology is amazing and I was up and walking around in a matter of days after my surgery.
The systems allow doctors to use tiny wristed instruments that move like a human hand, but with a greater range of motion. The precision of the surgery can reduce the amount of time patients are required to stay in hospital post-surgery.
