Robotic-assisted surgery is a modern medical technique that uses advanced robotic systems to help surgeons perform operations with greater precision. During these procedures, the surgeon controls a robotic arm equipped with tiny instruments, allowing for smaller incisions and less damage to surrounding tissues. This can lead to quicker recovery times and less pain for patients.
The da Vinci Surgical System is one of the most well-known examples of robotic-assisted surgery. It provides surgeons with a 3D view of the surgical area and enhances their ability to maneuver instruments. This technology is used in various procedures, including urological, gynecological, and cardiac surgeries.
