Robotic Surgery
Is Robotic Surgery done by robots?
NO.
The robot is never, ever making decisions or performing incisions. Rather, a specially trained and highly experienced surgeon sits at a computer workstation and views a monitor and controls a robotic Surgical System from a console with a video-assisted visualisation.
During a robotic-assisted procedure, your surgeon makes tiny incisions in your body. The system comprises a comprehensive master-slave surgical robot with multiple 'arms' allows surgeons to operate many types of complex procedures with more flexibility, precision control of surgical instruments and makes use of high-definition, three-dimensional visualisation which magnifies the surgical site and provides images of the inside of your body.
What are the benefits of Robotic Surgery to patients and surgeons?
For patients, robotic surgery improves patient outcomes in several ways:
Less blood
Less pain
Less scarring
For your surgeon, Robotic Surgery enables them to perform procedures that are technically difficult, delicate and complex surgeries. The key reasons to the feasibility:
Improved 3-D visualisation
Improved precision control
of surgical instruments
