Robotic Surgery consists of using a robotic surgical system to perform operations on patients. Similar to minimally invasive surgery, it can be done solely or it can be performed alongside traditional open surgical procedure as well depending on the situation at hand. The Da Vinci system is the most used robotic system over the world. It consists of three components - the surgeon’s console, a patient cart, and the vision cart. All of these components work together to allow the surgeon to view what is happening and then mimics the moments to guide the instruments. The surgeon’s console is the place where the surgeon sits. This is the area where he sees what is happening and has master control of how the instruments need to move. He can view high-definition real-time 3D images at the console. The patient cart is kept next to the patient’s bed where he is being operated on. The patient cart holds the camera and the instruments that are required for the surgery. The vision cart is the third component that is in charge of enabling the communication to take place seamlessly between all the components. The components of different surgical systems may vary depending on the particular system. Robotic Surgery history dates back to the 1980s. In 1985, PUMA 560, was the first robotic surgical system that was used for the stereotaxic operation. Then, in 1988, PROBOT was used to perform transurethral prostate surgery. In 1992, ROBODOC was developed for femur cavity preparation. In the 1990s, when laparoscopic surgery started, minimally invasive surgery was introduced. Three systems were created by this time; Da Vinci surgical system, Zeus and AESOP Robotic Surgical systems. Da Vinci surgical system was developed by Intuitive Surgical Inc. and the AESOP and Zeus systems were developed by Computer Motion. Computer Motion was acquired by Intuitive Surgical Inc. Within a few years, Zeus was discontinued. Today, the Da Vinci surgical system is the most used across the globe. There are presently four models of Da Vinci robotic surgical systems that are available; Da Vinci Si, Da Vinci X, Da Vinci Xi, and Da Vinci SP. These are designed for different types of robotic surgeries. Robotic Surgery is excellent for complex procedures that require a high amount of precision. Sometimes, highly complex surgeries are not possible in the traditional way. In such cases, Robotic Surgery might be the only option because it provides the flexibility that is required for the surgery to be completed. Robotic Surgery enables surgeons to thoroughly examine the area that is being operated on. This gives a clearer view to the surgeons which is highly beneficial for them to precisely conduct the operation because some things are not clear with the naked eye. Moreover, it gives more control over what is being done. The advantages of Robotic Surgery are present for surgeons and patients. For the surgeon, it allows the surgery to be done with precision that was not possible before. This is why Robotic Surgery is great for delicate surgeries as well. During a normal surgery, the doctor is supposed to stand for hours performing the surgery on the patient. When robotic-assisted surgery is done, this is not the case. Hence, surgeon fatigue is minimised during Robotic Surgery as they can sit comfortably and use their hands to guide the robot to replicate their movements to perform the surgery. In certain critical locations, Robotic Surgery is better because the robotic arms can reach places that are difficult for the surgeon’s hands to reach. This makes it a highly effective method for performing surgery in hard-to-reach areas. There are many advantages of Robotic Surgery for patients. Robotic Surgery means faster recovery time which means they can get back to work much faster as compared to when they have surgery with traditional methods. The risk of infection is much lesser in Robotic Surgery and it is comparatively less painful. Since the surgery is minimally invasive, there is less damage and the scars are smaller. There are numerous advantages of robotic surgery such as: • The surgeon has a better view of what is happening during the operation which enables him/her/them to see better and make better decisions. • Robotic surgeries always mean less tissue damage for the patient which helps in faster recovery. • There are fewer chances of getting an infection when Robotic Surgery is performed with smaller incisions. • Patients experience lesser pain during Robotic Surgery due to the incisions that are much smaller compared to traditional surgery. • There is minimal blood loss when Robotic Surgery is performed and this means lesser blood transfusions are required as a result. • The surgeon has better access to the area where the operation is taking place because of the high-resolution camera that is used to show real-time images of the area. • Robotic surgeries allow complex surgeries to be performed that aren’t possible with traditional methods. • Robotic surgeries provide faster recovery times and fewer chances of infections for incisions that are much smaller. • The scars are less visible when robotic surgeries are performed when compared to traditional surgeries. • Robotic surgeries mean fewer complications due to surgery. Although there might be complications, the likelihood is much smaller. • There is no need to stay for a long time at the hospital. In traditional methods, you might be required to stay for weeks but in most robotic surgeries that’s not the case. • The surgeon has better flexibility and dexterity compared to traditional methods as s/he has clearer visuals. • Robotic Surgery is far more precise compared to traditional surgery methods because of the instruments and the precision of the robot. • There are some risks associated with Robotic Surgery and one of them might be a small infection. As with any surgery, there might be bleeding and the patient might experience breathing problems as a result of the surgery. The risks associated with Robotic Surgery are similar to open surgery although the risks are considerable lesser. The scholar journal uses editorial manager system for maintaining quality of the whole process of manuscript submission, peer review and tracking. Journal of Surgery and Anesthesia aims to maintain a rapid editorial procedure and a rigorous peer-review system for all the submitted manuscripts. The submitted articles are peer-reviewed within 21 days of submission and the accepted articles are published immediately. Acceptance of any manuscript for publication requires approval of at least two independent reviewers and the editor. Submit manuscripts as an e-mail attachment to manuscripts@longdom.org
