robot-assisted laparoscopy

Robot-assisted laparoscopy is a minimally invasive surgical technique where surgeons use a specialized robotic system to perform procedures inside the abdomen or pelvis. The surgeon controls highly precise robotic arms via a console, which translate their movements into small, precise actions. This approach allows for improved accuracy, better visualization with 3D imaging, and often results in less pain, shorter recovery times, and smaller scars compared to traditional open surgery. It is commonly used for procedures like removing the appendix, gallbladder, or certain gynecological and urological surgeries.
