Robotic-assisted surgery is an advanced form of minimally invasive surgery that uses robotic systems (e.g., da Vinci Surgical System) to improve precision and reduce recovery time.

Common Procedures:

• Prostatectomy: Removal of the prostate gland, typically for prostate cancer. Robotic surgery enhances precision and minimizes nerve damage.
• Nephrectomy: Removal of the kidney, often for cancer, while preserving as much healthy tissue as possible.
• Cystectomy: Removal of the bladder due to bladder cancer.
• Renal surgery: Robotic surgery can also be used for kidney tumor removal or adrenal gland surgery.

Benefits:

• Greater precision, especially in delicate areas like the prostate or bladder.
• Smaller incisions, leading to less scarring and faster recovery.
• Decreased blood loss during surgery.
• Shorter hospital stays and quicker return to normal activities.

Outcome: Robotic surgeries tend to have shorter recovery times, fewer complications, and better cosmetic outcomes than traditional open surgeries.
