In the last couple of decades Surgery has experienced a revolution. Established and tried surgical techniques transitioned smoothly from open to minimally invasive surgery, mainly laparoscopic surgery.<\/p>\n
The laparoscopic surgeon handles the tissues, not in direct view, but through a screen and with the help of special tools. Modern technology has played a key role in the development of laparoscopic surgery and the outstanding results of the method have earned it recognition both within the medical community and in the consciousness of patients.<\/p>\n
In the 21st century, however, the revolution is Robotic Surgery, i.e. the introduction of robotic systems, guided by computers<\/strong>.<\/p>\n The first generation of surgical robots is already used broadly around the world. Of course, these are not autonomous robots that can operate on their own, but mechanical aids of surgeons. These machines naturally require operation by human surgeons and accept orders from them. These surgical robots are navigated by remote control and voice activation.<\/p>\n Robotics is now used in Surgery because it enables unprecedented control and precision of surgical instruments in minimally invasive procedures.<\/strong><\/p>\n In robotic surgery, the surgeon is seated in front of a surgical console \u2013 PC, where he is able to view the surgical field on a screen, and performs the operation by moving special levers, which look like joysticks. The computer is the interface between the patient and the surgeon, offering invaluable information to the doctor and greatly facilitating his work. The robotic system, through digital analysis, offers a perfectly accurate three-dimensional and magnified image to the surgeon, provides a detailed sense of the tissues, and essentially becomes the doctor\u2019s assistant for the maximum benefit of the patient. The surgeon\u2019s commands through the levers are transmitted digitally, simultaneously and with precision, to the modular robotic arms, which perform the movements in the surgical field. The movements of the robotic arms are controlled 100% by the surgeon, who must be specially trained in the use of the robotic system.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" What is robotic surgery?
