Robotic surgery is an advanced type of laparoscopic or minimally invasive surgery. This allows the surgeon to make small cuts to perform the surgery inside the abdominal cavity. The advantage of the robotic platform lies with improved 3D visualization and increased instrument dexterity over standard laparoscopic technique. In other words, If I can see better then I can dissect the tissues in a more controlled fashion. This reduces the inflammatory process therby improving pain control and optimizing recovery.
