What Is Robotic Surgery?

‍Robotic surgery uses computer-controlled robotic systems to assist surgeons in performing complex procedures with enhanced precision, flexibility, and control. The surgeon operates from a console, manipulating robotic arms that hold surgical instruments, allowing for minimally invasive approaches.

Why is robotic surgery advantageous?

• Enhanced precision: Robotic arms eliminate natural hand tremors.
• Better visualization: 3D high-definition views of surgical sites.
• Improved access: Reaches difficult areas with greater dexterity.

Common robotic surgery procedures

• Prostatectomy for prostate cancer.
• Hysterectomy for gynecological conditions.
• Heart valve repair.
