Robotic surgery is the latest in surgical innovation providing a minimally invasive surgical approach whereby the surgeon is able to complete complex surgical procedures that otherwise would have been traditionally performed with a larger open cut resulting in a prolonged hospital stay and recovery time.
Robotic surgery is commonly utilised for a range of minimally invasive surgeries. It is often the preferred platform when a multi-disciplinary approach is required and may be recommended for complex cases. Examples of surgeries that can be performed robotically, include:
Robotic surgery is the most advanced form of laparoscopic surgery in which use of a surgical robot is utilised and controlled by the surgeon to complete your surgery. It is minimally invasive with use of small incisions.
