What Are Some Key Procedures Where Robotic Technology Has Made Significant Impact?

Robotic gastrointestinal surgery can change the gastrointestinal care landscape by providing patients with fresh hope and chances for better health and well-being, says a doctor. There have been rapid advancements made in robotics, minimally-invasive procedures, and imaging technology in recent times. In fact, in modern medicine, robotic technology is a shining example of innovation that is making it easier for doctors to conduct surgeries and for patients to make swift recovery.

Dr Kona Lakshmi Kumari, consultant surgical gastroenterologist, minimal access GI surgeon, metabolic and bariatric surgeon at Yashoda Hospitals Hyderabad says that in robotic gastrointestinal surgery, for instance, surgeons -- with the help of robotic arms -- can treat 'complicated gastrointestinal disorders' with accuracy, control, and improved visualisation. The arms are equipped with two or more 'rotational or linear axes' that allow surgeons to perform complex surgeries with enhanced precision. From esophagogastric and esophageal cancer to hernia repairs, robotic gastrointestinal surgery can address a variety of conditions; take a look here.
