robotic surgery
Machine-assisted medical procedures
Robotic surgery is a surgical technique where a surgeon operates mechanical arms from a console rather than working directly on the patient.
The robot doesn't act autonomously—it translates the surgeon's hand movements into precise micro-movements of instruments inside the body.
The approach allows minimally invasive procedures with smaller incisions, reduced blood loss, and faster recovery: She opted for robotic surgery to remove her gallbladder.
