As against conventional laparoscopy where the surgeon has to keep an eye on the video monitor to see inside the surgical site, with robotic surgery, the instrument maneuvers are higher in dexterity and precision. In fact, the robot has been designed to alleviate hand tremors thus further aiding precise hand movements. For sake of patients, positives include a shorter hospital stay, less pain, less risk of infection, less blood loss, fewer transfusions, less scarring, faster recovery and a quicker return to normal daily activities. None of these benefits can be guaranteed, as surgery is necessarily both patient- and procedure-specific.
