Also referred to as robotic-assisted surgery, robotic surgery is when your surgeon uses a computer-controlled robotic “arm” to help them carry out complex surgical procedures.
It’s important to remember that this technology is a tool the surgeon uses to enhance their skills, not a way of replacing the human touch. This means that, as in traditional surgical procedures, the surgeon is in control at every stage. The robot simply helps the surgeon to carry out complex procedures with a greater degree of control and precision.
