Surgical robots are advanced robotic systems designed to assist surgeons in performing surgical procedures with enhanced precision and control. These systems typically include robotic arms, specialized instruments, and a 3D visualization system that allows surgeons to operate through small incisions, which can lead to reduced recovery times and less postoperative pain for patients. The use of surgical robots can increase the range of motion for surgical instruments beyond the capabilities of the human hand and can facilitate minimally invasive techniques in various types of surgery, including urologic, gynecologic, and orthopedic procedures. The integration of robotics into surgery aims to improve surgical outcomes, enhance patient safety, and optimize workflow in operating rooms.
In a remarkable leap forward for medical science, collaborative efforts between Johns Hopkins University and Stanford University have taken robotic surgery to the next level. Their advancements have empowered a…
