In the last two decades, medicine has witnessed an extraordinary transformation — one where science fiction has seamlessly merged with operating room reality. As a robotic surgery specialist, I’ve had the privilege of working at the frontier of this innovation, guiding robotic arms that can perform intricate procedures with a level of precision previously unimaginable.

What Is Robotic Surgery?

Robotic surgery doesn’t mean robots are operating independently. Instead, advanced systems — like the da Vinci Surgical System — allow skilled surgeons to control robotic instruments with extreme precision through a console. Think of it as translating the surgeon’s hand movements into smaller, more refined actions performed inside the patient’s body.
