Robotic surgery is the way of the future for many gynaecological procedures

Robotic Surgery is a minimally-invasive surgical technique that involves the use of a computer to guide miniature instruments that are attached to robotic arms. The surgeon sits in the corner of the operating theatre and directs the movement of the robotic arms. A three-dimensional (3D) camera helps guide the surgery and provides unparalleled vision for the surgeon. Using hand and foot controls, the surgeon manipulates the camera and instruments deep inside the patient’s body, allowing precise and delicate surgery to be performed through tiny incisions. The machine is not capable of independent movement.
