Role Of Robotic Surgery In Children

This is an era of minimal-invasive surgery, which includes Laparoscopic Surgery and Robotic Surgery. Laparoscopic surgery is now being used for more than three decades but still has its own limitations in form of a long learning curve and limited range of movement, especially in children with small body cavities requiring reconstructive surgeries. In robotic-assisted surgery (RAS), the surgeon sits besides the patient on a console and manipulates robotic arms with articulated instruments which are controlled by surgeon’s hand. The surgeon’s hand movements.
