A day may come when it does, but our planet’s most advanced medical technologies don’t yet have walking, talking robots in the operating room. However, robotic technology can provide useful assistance in certain operations–ensuring that your surgeon has the necessary training and experience to perform robotic surgery.
The Basics of Robotic Surgery
Robotic Surgery takes minimally invasive surgery to a whole new level where there is no necessity for a large surgical incision to expose the surgical site, cutting into healthy skin, muscle, and other tissue. Instead, the surgeon slides the robotic camera and other surgical instruments through the narrow incisions and transfers them into the target area. The state-of-the-art camera provides the surgical site and surrounding structures with a stunningly clear, three-dimensional image. The system’s robotic “arm” capabilities provide computerized accuracy and improved instrument sensitivity to patch components, such as a hernia, or to remove targeted organs or tumors.
Robotic-Assisted Surgery is overall Safe and Effective
Each surgical procedures carries complications. Even the most natural treatment can have unforeseen consequences like vomiting or infection. The surgeon, though, also carefully compares the potential risks with the potential benefits of surgical treatment.
The flexibility of the robotic arm’s “wrist” part also allows the surgeon a greatly enhanced range of motion, which increases his ability to execute even very delicate tasks accurately.
