About Laparoscopy
The surgeon operates from a console. It can be either seated or standing.
With robotic-assisted surgery, much smaller incisions are made. It is possible because robotic instruments are precise and compact, allowing them to work in tighter spaces.
The smaller incisions minimise damage to surrounding tissues and reduce the risk of infection. They also shorten the time needed for the patient to recover.
