Advancements in Robotic Surgeries

Robotic Surgery

Robotic surgery, also called robot-assisted surgery, allows doctors to perform many types of complex procedures with more precision, flexibility, and control than is possible with conventional techniques. Robotic surgery is commonly associated with minimally invasive surgery - procedures performed through tiny incisions. It is also sometimes used in some traditional open surgical procedures.

The most widely used clinical robotic surgical system includes a camera arm and mechanical arms to which surgical instruments are attached. The surgeon checks the arms sitting in front of a computer console near the operating table. The console provides the surgeon with a magnified high definition 3D view of the surgical site. The surgeon directs the other members of the team who assist during the operation.
