Technology advancement has been prompted; sparkling among them are the robots that are rising as a surrogate substitute to humans. The da Vinci Robotic System is one of the newer technologies that combines robotic technology and telemanipulation systems. Telemanipulation is a technology that mimics the surgeon’s hand and performs complex tasks that a human hand could do. The da Vinci Robotic System assists surgeons to conduct surgeries with three-dimensional vision and gives the surgeon advanced robotic tools that can be used to perform surgeries (S et al.). There are three components of the da Vinci system, surgeon console, patient care, and vision cart. Surgeon console is a device where a surgeon could view a three-dimensional view of the patient’s body and control the instruments of the patient cart. The patient cart is a device that has attached cameras and instruments that the surgeon controls from the console. Finally, a vision cart is a communication device that helps in communication between the surgeon console and patient cart and supports three-dimensional imagery (“About Da Vinci System”). The da Vinci System can perform surgeries such as Cardiac procedures, Colorectal procedures, Gynecological procedures, Urology procedures, Ears, Nose, and Throat (ENT) procedures, Thoracic procedures, and Kidney (nephrology) procedures. The surgery is performed through a small incision that prevents major scarring and blood loss (“Benefits of Davinci Robotic Surgery System”).

A Video Discussing about Robotic Technology in Urology (“Advantages and Disadvantages of Robotic Technology in Urology”)
Robots are advantageous in many ways in the medical industry, especially during surgeries; they can conduct completely automated surgeries or assist surgeons while conducting procedures. Robots can help in improving the accuracy of neurological biopsy (Aggarwal et al. 107). Robots can reduce the risk of unintentional damages in knee arthroscopy and make the procedure less challenging (Crawford et al.). Procedures that involve robots can allow patients to suffer less pain, slight blood loss, minimal scarring, and short-time recovery (“Advantages and Disadvantages of Robotic Technology in Urology”). The new robot, Versius by a British company, rivals the traditional da Vinci system that is widely used for robotic surgeries. Versius robots are smaller and more flexible than existing robots, which allow the robot to perform a wider range of operations. Versius’ techniques lead to reduced pain and faster recovery speed compared to manual surgeries. Robotic surgeries can help surgeons in magnifying the view of the patients’ body and increases the performance of the procedure (Walsh).

Robots are successful in providing extraordinary healthcare to patients, and robots can also improve the quality of healthcare in healthcare institutes. Providing enough evidence that robots can safely perform surgeries can improve the public’s opinion on robots. Robots can ensure patients’ safety and increase the efficiency of medical institutes. Robot-assisted pyeloplasty has a success rate ranging between ninety-four percent and a hundred percent (Schwaibold et al.). The proportion of hospitals and surgeons utilizing robotic surgery is increasing; in January 2012, the number of surgeons performing robotic surgery was 8.7%, and it has increased drastically to 35.1% in June 2018 (Sheetz et al.). The United States performs more robotic surgeries than in other countries. While performing robotic surgeries, there are no fatal risks caused to patients by robotic surgeries. And due to closed supervision on robotic surgeries, the surgeons do not need tactile feedback while performing robot-assisted surgeries (K).
