How Are the Robots Used in the Surgery?
The robotic instruments require the surgeon’s complete control throughout the entire procedure, and, by utilizing the robot, the doctor can complete the procedure more efficiently with improved vision, more precise fine motor control, and easier access to difficult-to-reach anatomical areas. A specialized robotic telescope allows the surgeon to see the area of operation under 12x magnification and in 3 dimensions, which provides greater visual detail to the surgical are than ever before. Robotic surgery has been shown to result in decreased pain, blood loss, and recovery time.
