Robotic surgery is a minimally invasive surgical technique that uses robotic systems to assist surgeons during operations. These systems provide enhanced precision, flexibility, and control compared to traditional methods. Surgeons operate the robotic instruments through a console, allowing for smaller incisions and reduced recovery times for patients.
The robotic system typically includes a camera that provides a 3D view of the surgical site, along with robotic arms that hold and manipulate surgical tools. This technology is commonly used in procedures such as prostatectomies, hysterectomies, and cardiac surgeries, improving outcomes and minimizing complications.
