Robottaskurðir

Robottaskurðir, also known as robotic surgery or robot-assisted surgery, refers to a type of minimally invasive surgical procedure that utilizes a robotic system. In this approach, a surgeon operates a sophisticated robotic platform that controls specialized instruments. These instruments are typically much smaller than traditional surgical tools and are attached to robotic arms. The surgeon views the surgical field through a high-definition 3D console, which magnifies the image and allows for precise movements.

The primary advantage of robottaskurðir is its enhanced precision and control. The robotic arms can mimic the dexterity of a human hand but with greater stability, eliminating natural hand tremors. This allows surgeons to perform complex maneuvers in confined spaces with greater accuracy. Benefits for patients can include smaller incisions, reduced blood loss, less pain, shorter hospital stays, and faster recovery times compared to open surgery.

Robottaskurðir is employed across a wide range of surgical specialties, including urology, gynecology, cardiothoracic surgery, and general surgery. Procedures commonly performed robotically include prostatectomies, hysterectomies, and hernia repairs. While the robot assists the surgeon, it does not operate autonomously; the surgeon remains in complete control throughout the entire procedure. The technology aims to augment the surgeon's capabilities, leading to improved surgical outcomes and patient well-being.
