Robotic Surgery, or Robot - Assisted Surgery, allows doctors to perform many types of complex procedures with more precision, flexibility and control than is possible with conventional techniques.

Robotic or Robot - Assisted Surgery integrates advanced computer technology with the experience of the skilled surgeons. This technology provides the surgeon with a 10x magnified, high-definition, 3D-image of the body’s intricate anatomy.

Robotic surgery doesn’t mean that a robot is performing the operation. Instead, it refers to when surgeons direct the surgery using robotic tools.

Robotic surgery is usually laparoscopic. Your surgeon will determine whether robotic surgery is possible for your particular cancer. If so, your surgeon may recommend robotic surgery over open surgery.

The most widely used clinical robotic surgical system includes a camera arm and mechanical arms with surgical instruments attached to them.
