Robotic surgeries (or robot-assisted surgeries) are minimally invasive procedures where a surgeon uses a computer-controlled system to manipulate mechanical arms equipped with surgical instruments. This technology serves as a highly precise tool rather than a replacement for human surgeons, who remain in complete control of the robot at all times.

How Robotic Surgery Works?

A typical robotic surgical system, such as the widely used da Vinci Surgical System, consists of three main components:

1. 1. Surgeon Console: The surgeon sits at this control station, looking into a stereoscopic monitor that provides a magnified, high-definition 3D view of the surgical site.
   
   
2. 2. Patient Cart: This unit stays next to the operating table and holds the robotic arms, which are equipped with tiny surgical instruments and a camera.
   
   
3. 3. Vision Cart: This component processes the images from the camera and enables communication between the console and the robotic arms.
