Robotic surgery is a type of minimally invasive surgery where a surgeon uses a computer to control robotic arms with surgical instruments and a camera. The surgeon sits at a console, viewing a magnified 3D image of the surgical site, and their hand movements are translated into precise actions by the robot's instruments. This approach can lead to benefits like less pain, smaller scars, and quicker recovery times compared to traditional open surgery. How it works Surgeon control: The surgeon operates from a nearby console, which provides a high-definition, 3D view of the surgical area. Robotic arms: The robotic system has arms that hold tiny surgical tools and a camera. These arms translate the surgeon's movements with greater precision and flexibility than human hands can achieve alone. Minimal incisions: The procedure is performed through a few small incisions, a key feature of minimally invasive surgery. Enhanced vision: A camera inserted into the body provides a magnified, 3D view, allowing the surgeon to see the surgical site in great detail. Potential benefits Less pain: Patients often experience less pain and may require less pain medication. Reduced blood loss: The procedure can result in less blood loss. Lower risk of infection: The smaller incisions help lower the risk of surgical site infections. Faster recovery: Patients typically have a shorter hospital stay and a quicker recovery period. Smaller scars: The small incisions result in less noticeable scarring. What it's used for Robotic surgery is used for a wide range of procedures, including: Prostate, bladder, and other gastrointestinal cancers Hernia repair Weight-loss surgery Gallbladder and kidney diseases Gynecological procedures like hysterectomy
