Robotaskurðlækningar

Robotaskurðlækningar, also known as robotic surgery, is a type of minimally invasive surgical procedure that uses a robotic system to assist the surgeon. The surgeon controls the robotic arms from a console, which provides a magnified 3D view of the surgical site. The robotic instruments have greater dexterity and range of motion than human hands, allowing for more precise movements and smaller incisions. This can lead to reduced pain, less blood loss, shorter hospital stays, and quicker recovery times for patients.

The da Vinci Surgical System is a well-known example of a robotic surgical platform. It consists of a surgeon console, a patient cart with robotic arms, and a vision cart. The surgeon sits at the console and manipulates controls that translate their hand movements into precise actions by the robotic instruments. The system filters out hand tremors, enhancing surgical accuracy.

Robotaskurðlækningar is employed across various surgical specialties, including urology, gynecology, general surgery, cardiothoracic surgery, and head and neck surgery. Procedures such as prostatectomies, hysterectomies, and hernia repairs are commonly performed using robotic assistance. While the robot assists the surgeon, it does not perform surgery autonomously; the surgeon remains in complete control throughout the procedure. The adoption of robotaskurðlækningar is a growing trend in modern medicine, offering potential benefits to both patients and surgeons.
