Robotic Surgical Systems—A Review

Abstract

Robotic surgery is a type of surgery where doctor performs the operation on the patient by controlling the arms of the robotic system. These robotic arms mimic the surgeon's hand and scales down the movement hence allowing the surgeon to easily make precise and
\nsmall cuts. Robotic surgery has been a revolutionary step in the improvement of surgical procedures as it is enhancing surgery through improved precision, stability, and dexterity. The use of robotics in medical procedures has become common place in the past decade as medical robotics includes a number of devices used for surgery,
\nrehabilitation therapy, assisting people with visabilities and prosthetics. Due to the wide acceptance of surgical robots, the need to provide smaller, more efficient and less expensive equipment is driving researchers to achieve great heights. Surgical robots have been successfully implemented in several hospitals around the globe and have received world-wide acceptance. With advancements in technology, accuracy and proficiency is being achieved by various surgical systems and the current study reviews the latest robotic surgical technologies.
