What is Robotic Surgery?

April 11, 2019 by

Robotic surgery is another laparoscopic procedure but with the additional assistance of technology. Guided by the robotic arms, the surgeon is able to perform surgery without directly moving the instruments. The procedure is done while seated at the control console, which is just a few feet from the patient. The surgeon views the procedure via a highly magnified, 3D image of the inside of the patient. The surgeon performs the surgery using ergonomic finger controls that move both the camera and robotic instruments in real-time. Robotic surgery performed using tools such as tiny tweezers and scissors, and while the tools are no larger than the size of a fingernail, to the surgeon, the magnified view allows them to appear to be much larger.
