Robotic surgery is a medical technique that uses computer-assisted robotic systems to perform precise surgical procedures through minimally invasive methods. Surgeons control robotic arms equipped with cameras and instruments to achieve greater accuracy, smaller incisions, and faster recovery times. Commonly used in urology, gynecology, and cardiac surgery, systems like the da Vinci Surgical System have become central to modern operating rooms, advancing precision medicine and reducing patient trauma through automation and enhanced visualization.
North America’s largest automation trade association has issued a bold call for the government to up its involvement in the advancement of robotics.
