Awareness of Robotic Surgery for medical solution of critical diseases



In technically savvy environment, medical field has made revolutionary progression which facilitated medical researchers, doctors and other intellectuals to offer their services to client and give best treatment with ease and simplified way. One of the dominant technique for surgical operation of numerous critical diseases is robotic surgery. Robot is a mechanical device that can be programmed to carry out instructions and perform complicated tasks normally done by individuals in their daily life.


Robotic surgery is a technique to perform surgery using very small tools attached to a robotic arm. The specialist controls the robotic arm with a computer. Surgical robotics is a novel technology that has positive outcome and patients may get successful treatment without extended stay in hospital. Historical data revealed that the first surgical application of robot technique was used to guide a needle for brain biopsy with 0.05mm accuracy. In 1987 robotics was used in the first Laparoscopic surgery, a cholescystecotomy. In 1988, The PROBOT, developed at Imperial College London, was used to perform prostatic surgery.

In 1992, the robodoc was introduced for use in hip replacement surgery in coring out the femoral shaft to accept the hip replacement prosthesis. In clinical trial, robodoc has been found to have greater accuracy as compared to conventional technique. It has been used in more than 50000 human hip replacement procedures in Europe. At that time, it gained wider acceptance.

Robotic surgery is often signalled as the new uprising, and it is a key topic of dialogue in surgical arena among medical researchers, surgeons or doctors. Prime objective of choosing robots in medicine is to provide enhanced diagnostic capabilities, a less invasive and more relaxed experience for the patient, and the ability to do smaller and more exact intermediations.

Robots surgery is adopted by surgeons to treat myriads of medical problems such as prostate surgery, hysterectomies, the removal of fibroids, joint replacements, open-heart surgery and kidney surgeries. They can be used along with MRIs to provide organ biopsies. Since the surgeon can see pictures of the patient and control the robot through a computer, he/she can perform surgery in safe medical location other than surgical room in hospital. In other words, if patient is at distant location, surgeon can use robot surgery to cure the diseases if urgently required. 

Robotic surgery is analogous to laparoscopic surgery. It can be performed through smaller cuts than open surgery. The small, precise movements that are possible with this type of surgery give it some advantages over standard endoscopic practices.

Robotic surgery may take time to complete the surgical procedure because surgeon has to establish the robot. Many hospitals may not have access to this method.

Robotic surgeries are used for different procedures such as:

·        Coronary artery bypass
·        Cutting away cancer tissue from sensitive parts of the body such as blood vessels, nerves, or important body organs
·        Gallbladder removal
·        Hip replacement
·        Hysterectomy
·        Kidney removal
·        Kidney transplant
·        Mitral valve repair
·        Pyeloplasty (surgery to correct ureteropelvic junction obstruction)
·        Pyloroplasty
·        Radical prostatectomy
·        Radical cystectomy
·        Tubal ligation




Robotic surgery is a new medical concept to perform surgery and is in its embryonic stage. Surgeons choose robot surgical method for smaller surgical procedures.
