Surgical approach
रोबोटिक कैंसर सर्जरी
01Overview
- Robotic cancer surgery
In robotic surgery, the surgeon sits at a console. From there the surgeon controls fine tools and a camera through small cuts. The robot does not act on its own. The surgeon controls every move.
It is a form of keyhole (minimally invasive) surgery. It is an option only for some operations and some patients, where it is advised and available.
Please ask the clinic if robotic surgery is available in Bikaner for your operation before you plan for it.
