Role Of Robotic Surgery In Children
Role Of Robotic Surgery In Children This is an era of minimal-invasive surgery , which includes Laparoscopic Surgery and Robotic Surgery . Laparoscopic surgery is now being used for more than three decades but still has its own limitations in form of a long learning curve and limited range of movement, especially in children with small body cavities requiring reconstructive surgeries. In robotic-assisted surgery (RAS) , the surgeon sits besides the patient on a console and manipulates robotic arms with articulated instruments which are controlled by surgeon’s hand. The surgeon’s hand movements are transmitted inside’s the patients body to perform precise dissection and suture. The RAS has the advantage of providing high definition and magnified 3D vision along with the 7 Degrees of freedom of movement. This is an advantage, especially in children, because of their miniature size. This helps surgeons not only to perform surgery with great precision bu...
