Robotic surgery is an advanced form of minimally invasive surgery that uses small incisions to operate within the abdominal cavity. The robotic platform provides enhanced 3D visualization and greater precision, allowing the surgeon to perform more controlled and accurate dissection, which can reduce inflammation, improve pain management, and optimize recovery. Though the DaVinci robot may seem intimidating, it’s simply a tool that helps the surgeon perform the procedure more effectively.
