Merit and Demerits of Robotic assisted Surgery
Robotic assisted surgery allow a surgeon at a console to operate remote-controlled robotic arms, which may facilitate the performance of procedures. These robotic systems are designed to enhance the surgeon's precision, control, and dexterity, offering potential benefits to both the surgeon and the patient. 1. Robotic System: The surgeon operates from a console equipped with a 3D visualization system and manipulates the robotic arms using hand and foot controls. 2. Enhanced Precision : Robotic systems provide enhanced precision by filtering any hand tremors of the surgeon's movements. The robotic arms translate the surgeon's hand movements into smaller, more precise movements, reducing the risk of human error. 3. Minimally Invasive: Robot-assisted surgery is typically performed using minimally invasive techniques, such as laparoscopy or thoracoscopy. Minimally invasive procedures involve smaller incisions compared to traditional open surgery, resulting in reduced scarring
