Robotic surgery, also known as robotic-assisted surgery, is a type of specialized minimally invasive surgery. During procedures that use robotic technology, the surgeon sits at a console in the operating room and manipulates mechanical arms equipped with a camera and surgical tools — all from outside the body — while watching the surgery in real time on a monitor. The camera allows the surgeon to see parts of the body that aren’t visible with the naked eye, and the instruments allow the surgeon to perform complex operations with more precision.
