What is Robotic Surgery?

Robotic surgery is a surgical method in which robot technology and computer aided systems are used. In this method, specially designed robotic surgery systems are used to perform surgical operations. Robotic surgery allows the surgeon to perform surgical procedures by transferring hand movements with precision and offers many advantages over traditional surgical methods.

A robotic surgery system usually consists of three main components:

Surgical Console: It is the place where the surgeon performs the operation. The surgeon stands at the console and watches the image of the operation on a three-dimensional and high-resolution screen. The surgeon's hand movements and operations are transmitted to the robotic surgery system via the movable arms of the surgery console.

Robotic Arms: The robotic arms used to perform the operation precisely transfer the surgeon's hand movements. These arms carry surgical instruments and transform the surgeon's movements into smaller and more precise movements, helping to perform surgical procedures safely.

Endoscopic Camera: It is a small and flexible camera used to view the inside of the operation. This camera guides the surgeon by viewing the structures in the surgical field in detail.

Robotic surgery offers many advantages over traditional open surgery. These include the use of smaller incisions, less blood loss, less tissue damage, faster recovery time, and shorter hospital stay. In addition, thanks to robotic surgery, surgeons can perform more complex and precise operations.
