Abstract
Primarily, it is a computer-assisted surgery. It's a modified future of
minimally invasive surgery. With this method, the surgeon makes decisions and gives
commands, and a robot carries out the surgery. The main advantage of robotic or
minimally invasive surgery is that instead of operating patients through large incisions,
patients get operated on through small incisions with less trauma to the tissue. There is
less pain and a shorter hospital stay with an early return to work.
