Robotic system

  • Consist of;
  • Robotic arm: mechanical arm equipped with surgical instrument.

​

  • Surgeon Console: The Surgeon’s sitting area from where he controls the arm.

​

  • Computer Interface: Software algorithms translate the surgeon’s movements into precise actions by the robotic arm.

​

  • Vision system: High-definition camera that provides a 3D view of the surgical site.

Benefits

  • Precision and accuracy: allows precise manipulation of delicate tissue and blood vessels.
  • Improved visualization: High definition 3D visualization allows surgical team to see view surgical site in greater details hence better decision making and more précised surgical maneuvers.
  • Minimal invasive approach: resulting in less trauma to the tissue, reduced blood loss hence faster recovery(24-72 hours).
  • Reduced complication: bleeding and infection are highly reduced due to minimal incision and greater precision.
