robotic+surgery

Robotic surgery is the performance of certain procedures with the help of robotic technology in surgery.

Robotics are now being used in gallbladder surgery, and will perform closed-chest beating-heart surgery in the future.

There are three systems of Robotic surgery:

-Supervisory controlled systems. - Tele-surgical systems. - Shared-control systems.

The main difference between each system is how involved a human surgeon is. In some cases, robots perform surgery without the direct involvement of a surgeon. In other cases, doctors perform surgery with the assistance of the robots.
