Advantages of robotic surgery vs manual surgery

Robots are everywhere, and contrary to how movies show them, robots can be precisely controlled by human beings. So, why do we need robots in this world, a Robot can do tasks with extreme and minute precision, a robot can make tinier incisions and ensure their accuracy, something that human hands may not always be capable of delivering.

The primary benefit of using robots in surgery when the surgeon tries to perform laparoscopic surgery. A robot is extremely useful when attempting to repair bone and other tissue using tiny incisions. This results in minimally invasive surgeries performed with extreme accuracy. All of this translates to a higher success rate, quicker healing time and minimal discomfort to the patient. Furthermore, these types of surgeries are particularly useful when performing routine surgeries like knee replacements. The underlying benefit is employing robots to perform surgery improves accuracy.

Robotic surgery

All over the world, the most progressive health care establishments are already adopting robots as a routine part of their procedures. This large scale implementation is primarily due to the efficacy of robots in surgery. In particular, robots have found a place in orthopaedic procedures. Orthopaedic procedures require accuracy, even the slightest mistake during surgery can cause a lot of pain to the patient. We all hear of many cases where even after an orthopaedic procedure the patient feels pain and discomfort, this pain is often only fixed after another surgery. This is usually due to a slight misalignment, this may include a screw used to keep joint or ligament in place is hitting a nerve, or maybe the issue is in the placement itself. These problems arise predominantly because of a lack of precision while performing the surgery. Robots change all of that by improving precision.

In conclusion, Robots improve the inefficiencies in orthopaedic surgery, and often times it is these inefficiencies that lead to greater pain and discomfort in the patients after surgery. Robots have successfully eliminated such inefficiencies and ensure maximum comfort after surgery.
