Robotic surgery allows doctors to perform many types of complex procedures with more precision, flexibility and control than is possible with traditional procedures. Robotic surgery is often performed through tiny incisions. But sometimes it's used in open surgeries. Robotic surgery also is called robot-assisted surgery. Most often, a robotic surge...
Surgeons who use the robotic system find that it can increase precision, flexibility and control during the operation. The robotic system also allows them to better see the site, compared with traditional surgical methods. Using robotic surgery, surgeons can perform delicate and complex procedures that may be difficult or impossible with other meth...
Robotic surgery involves risk, some of which may be similar to risks of traditional open surgery, such as a small risk of infection and other complications.
