Robotic surgeries: Procedures, Advantages and Risks
Over 3 million patients have undergone robotic surgery since 2000. Robotic surgery allows surgeons to perform minimally invasive procedures through small incisions using a robotic system that has 3D imaging and wrist-like joints, giving surgeons improved access and control. While the surgeon controls the robotic arms, benefits of robotic surgery include less pain, smaller incisions, shorter hospital stays, and quicker recovery times compared to traditional open or laparoscopic surgeries. The doctor determines if a patient is eligible for robotic surgery based on their individual procedure and medical needs.
