Robotic surgery is a state-of-the-art option for minimally invasive surgery. Robotic surgeons use a magnified, high-definition vision system and tiny wristed instruments that bend and rotate far greater than the human wrist. As a result, the surgeons operate with enhanced vision, precision and control.
