Robotic surgery, also known as robot-assisted surgery, enables doctors to perform difficult operations with greater accuracy, flexibility, and control. It is most commonly associated with minimally invasive surgery, which includes treatments delivered through small incisions, but it is also used in some standard open surgical procedures.
According to experts, the most commonly used clinical robotic surgical system consists of a camera arm and mechanical arms with surgical tools attached. According to a PKLI spokesperson, Dr. Nadeem Bin Nusrat, Chairman of the Urology Department, and his colleagues were responsible for this historic achievement.
According to Dr. Nadeem, the procedure was a radical nephrectomy, and the patient was able to leave the hospital within a few hours. This previously unheard-of level of precision and care, he claims, will change the way we approach surgical procedures.
