ABSTRACT: Robotic surgery‚ computer-assisted surgery‚ and robotically-assisted surgery are terms for technological developments that use robotic systems to aid in surgical procedures. Robotically-assisted surgery was developed to overcome both the limitations of minimally invasive surgery or to enhance the capabilities of surgeons performing open surgery. In the case of robotically assisted minimally invasive surgery‚ instead of directly moving the instruments‚ the surgeon uses one of two methods

For one‚ the machines have higher precision and more stable “hands and fingers”. They will not tie large knots with thick sutures and will not cut into healthy‚ normal tissues. Secondly‚ infections are less likely. Since these robotic surgeons do not need to insert large incisions in the body‚ depending on
