Robotic surgical systems are advanced medical tools that assist surgeons during operations. These systems use robotic arms controlled by a surgeon from a console, allowing for precise movements and enhanced visualization. This technology can lead to smaller incisions, reduced pain, and quicker recovery times for patients compared to traditional surgery.
One well-known example of a robotic surgical system is the da Vinci Surgical System. It has been used in various procedures, including urology, gynecology, and cardiac surgery. By combining robotics with human expertise, these systems aim to improve surgical outcomes and patient safety.
