Robots give surgeons exceptional control and precision with less blood loss and usually a speedier recovery than for open surgery.

 

Robotic-assisted surgery is also involved in urologic surgery, gynecological cancer treatment, treatment of pelvic floor prolapse and removal of the ovaries, fallopian tubes, lymph nodes and fibroid tumors.
