Robotic Surgery▼
Robotic Surgery is surgery performed by surgeons using the Da Vinci Robotic Surgery System. It is an advanced key-hole surgery beyond the conventional laparoscopic surgery. The robotic surgery system improves the surgeon's vision of the operating field by the aid of a magnifying 3D high definition camera. The robotic instruments allow a greater range of motion than conventional laparoscopic instruments.
