Better Visualization
High-definition, 3D images give surgeons a clearer view of the surgical area.
Greater Dexterity
Robotic arms can move in ways human hands cannot, offering more flexibility in complex procedures.
Preparation and Recovery
Preparation for robotic surgery involves several steps to ensure a successful outcome:
Preoperative Assessment
Comprehensive evaluation to determine the best surgical approach and ensure the patient’s overall health is suitable for surgery.
Medication Adjustments
