Robotic-assisted surgery is a minimally invasive procedure where a surgeon controls a robot from a console. Small instruments are attached to the robot’s arms and inserted through tiny incisions. An endoscope provides 3-D images, while the surgeon uses controls to guide the robot’s precise, scaled-down movements for enhanced accuracy.

Robotic surgery offers several benefits, including less pain, minimal blood loss, and reduced risk of infection. Patients experience shorter hospital stays, faster recovery, and smaller scars, while surgeons gain enhanced precision and 3D visualization, leading to fewer complications and quicker returns to daily routines for patients.

Compared to traditional open surgery, robot-assisted surgery offers benefits such as less pain during recovery, a lower risk of infection, and reduced blood loss.

In robotic surgery, the surgeon uses a robotic arm to assist with the procedure, controlling it from a console near the operating table. Using a viewing screen and controllers, the surgeon directs all of the robot’s movements, ensuring complete control throughout the surgery.

Robotic surgery is used for various procedures, including urologic surgeries (prostatectomies, nephrectomies), gynecologic surgeries (hysterectomies, endometriosis resection), general surgeries (gallbladder, bariatric), thoracic, cardiac, head and neck surgeries, and lung biopsies. Using small tools attached to a robotic arm, the surgeon controls the procedure through smaller incisions than in open surgery.
