Robotic-assisted procedures are advanced surgical techniques that use robotic systems to help doctors perform operations with greater precision. These systems, like the da Vinci Surgical System, allow surgeons to control robotic arms equipped with tiny instruments and cameras. This technology enhances the surgeon's ability to see and manipulate tissues, leading to smaller incisions and quicker recovery times for patients.
During a robotic-assisted procedure, the surgeon sits at a console and views a 3D image of the surgical site. The robotic arms mimic the surgeon's hand movements, providing enhanced dexterity. This innovative approach is used in various fields, including urology, gynecology, and orthopedics, improving outcomes for many patients.
