Robotic surgery is a form of minimal access surgery, also known as robotic-assisted surgery. The Da Vinci Surgical (DVS) system was authorized in 2000. Robotic technology was introduced to facilitate surgeons during challenging operations, keeping the concept of minimal access1. Telesurgery is also feasible with the robot, as the surgeon’s console can be connected to…
