More Information
Summary:Robots are now widely employed in surgical interventions. While robotic assistance has been investigated in nearly all forms of surgery, complex procedures, in particular those utilizing minimally invasive surgical techniques have seen the widest adoption [1]. Robotic interventions primarily strive to reduce or eliminate human limitations. These limitations include tremor, fatigue, variability, and inability to accurately visualize or target disease discovered in volumetric imaging [computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans] with high accuracy and safety. Robotic devices also often provide improved access, dexterity, and precision.
