What is Robotic Surgery?

Robotic Surgery is a revolutionary new concept in surgery where a "robot" is interposed between the patient and the surgeon. The Surgeon carries out the operation through highly specialised instruments controlled by the arms of robot.

The Current Robotic System (da Vinci Si HD System from Intuitive Surgicals, USA) consists of three components as shown below:

How does Robotic Surgery work?

Surgeons perform robotic surgical procedures on a specialized console, which provides a high quality three-dimensional image of the patient body. The surgeon controls the robot by maneuvering levers, pedals and buttons on the console with his arms, feet, fingers and wrists. The robot executes these commands through instruments attached to robotic arms on the patient-side robotic cart. Depending on the surgeons requirements, the instruments can be changed easily by a scrub nurse.
