Do robots perform robotic surgery?
Robotic surgery, also called robot-assisted surgery, is performed by surgeons, not robots. Your surgeon at Murrieta Valley Surgery Associates has complete control over your procedure, using advanced surgical tools to assist with the procedure.
During robotic surgery, the surgeon sits at a computer console. The console has a computer monitor with a high-definition and magnified surgical site image and a hand-held controller.
Your surgeon uses the hand-held controller to maneuver the robotic arms equipped with tiny surgical tools used to perform the procedure. The robotic arms mimic the exact movement of the surgeon.
The robot technology used for robotic surgery allows your surgeon to perform procedures through tiny incisions with better precision, control, and flexibility.
