Robotics Surgery

Have you heard of Robotics Surgery? Well this is not new! Surgeon nowadays uses robotic arm to perform surgical procedures! 


The use of robotics minimally invasive techniques minimize the physical and emotional impact of surgery on patients. Robotically-assisted MIS represents a third generation of surgery, one which builds upon the advances to open surgery introduced by MIS. Robotic technology takes surgery beyond the limits of the human hand, introducing precise, versatile instrument movement combined with three-dimensional visualization of the operative site. With minimally invasive surgery, the goal is to accomplish internal repair while leaving the body surface as natural as it was prior to surgery. Many procedures require only several days in the hospital and promote reduced recovery time. Patients can often get back to their normal routines more quickly.

What are the benefits of using such a device where in the past they rely solely on their pair of hands to do the magic?
The reasons as follows:
  • minimally invasive
  • minimize the physical and emotional impact of surgery on patients
  • it takes surgery beyond the limits of the human hand, introducing precise, versatile instrument movement combined with three-dimensional visualization of the operative site.
  • accomplish internal repair while leaving the body surface as natural as it was prior to surgery.
  • promote reduced recovery time where patients can often get back to their normal routines more quickly.
