Introduction to Robotic Surgery

Robotic surgery system is a complex of many modern high-tech means. Mainly used in cardiac surgery and prostatectomy. Surgeons can operate from the operating table to manipulate the machine, which is completely different from the traditional surgical concept. It is a well-deserved revolutionary surgical tool in the field of minimally invasive surgery in the world.
The use of robots for surgical operations has become increasingly popular. In the United States, in 2004 alone, robots successfully completed 20000 surgical operations ranging from prostate resection to cardiac surgery. When using the robot to perform surgery, the doctor's hands do not touch the patient. Once the location of the incision is determined, the robotic arm equipped with cameras and other surgical tools will perform actions such as cutting, hemostasis and suturing. The surgeon only needs to sit on the console, usually in the operating room, and observe and guide the work of the robotic arm. It is reported that the technology allows doctors to operate on patients at one end of the earth. The most common robotic surgical procedure today is prostatectomy. Some surgeons also use robotic systems called "Da Vinci" to do cardiac surgery, obstetrics and gynecology, and birth control. In 2000, robots performed 1500 surgeries, and in 2004, robots performed 20000 surgeries.
