As the name suggests, Robotic Gynecologic Surgery is a surgery performed by the help of robots. These are robot-assisted surgeries leveraging advanced technology enhancing the capabilities of the surgeon’s hands. The surgery allows the surgeon to perform in the hard-to-reach areas in the body with the help of small incisions. This is one of the latest advancements in gynecology and it enables precise movements along with enhanced magnification.
The latest technology consists of:
*Surgical arms carrying tiny instruments with wrists at the tip
*A special camera offering enhanced magnified 3d views of the surgical area.
*A surgical console where the surgeon controls the instrument and each move in the camera.
Who can perform a robotic surgery?
Any surgeon who completes training in robotic-assisted surgery can perform this type of surgery. Many gynecologists undergo special training so that they can perform such surgeries and procedures.
Here are the advantages of robotic surgery:
*Robotic gynecologic surgery offers precision in its work. The arm of the robot can move more exact than a human hand and they offer great range of motion. The arms rotate instruments in tight spaces in the ways that aren’t possible otherwise.
*The surgery offers better visualization. In the traditional methods, surgeons could not use cameras but this is not the case now. Robots and their movements can be easily tracked through cameras. They have 3d capabilities for imagining, which is better than what we see through naked eye.
