Surgeons are using robotic surgery during operations because it offers them more accuracy, visibility, and success rate. 

FREMONT, CA: The technology of artificial intelligence (AI) has developed smart assistants for doctors and surgeons. Today, doctors can operate on patients with more precision, confidence, accuracy, and flexibility as they use computer-aided diagnostics, robotic surgeries, and many other innovative technologies. In minimally invasive surgeries, robotic procedures are utilized as the incision is minimal, and imagery has to be high resolution. Many hospitals all across the world have introduced FDA approved robotic surgeries for treatments. 

What is Robotic Surgery?

Here are a few of the things that are important to know about robotic surgery:

1. The surgery conducted by using robots is known as robotic surgery.

2. The most popular is the da Vinci Robotic Surgical System. It is a super bot with a self-power and computer-controlled agile system that can be programmed and positioned over the patient.

3. The robot's hand can be blended to any direction and reach places where it can be difficult for a human hand to go.

4. Motion artifacts can also be avoided in this process.

5. The computer screen works as the guide as every inch of the human body is magnified as necessary. The surgeons' hands and wrist movements are transmitted to the robot's arm to mimic a similar motion.

6. Any human hand tremors will not be observed in this procedure. The surgeons have every control over the robot's arm.

7. The surgeons might face fatigue during long hour surgeries. In robot-guided surgery, the surgeon can sit comfortably with the console and efficiently operate the robots' hands. Whenever necessary, they can step up to the table and take over from the robot. 

What are the Advantages of Robotic Surgery?

Robotic surgery has more success rate than the traditional method of operating. Here are some of the benefits of robotic surgery compared to open surgery. 

1. Less time in hospitals

2. Less discomfort

3. Minimal scars and heals quickly

4. Less blood loss as they are minimally invasive surgery

5. Reduce pain 

6. Faster recovery time

Here are some of the advantages for surgeons who perform robotic surgeries. 

• Improve and precise vision of the disease

• More agility

• Better accuracy

• Less fatigue
