How does robotic liver surgery work?
Robotic liver surgery utilizes a robotic surgical system consisting of robotic arms equipped with specialized surgical instruments. The surgeon controls the robot from a console, where they can view a high-definition, 3D images of the surgical site. The surgeon's hand movements are translated into precise movements of the robotic arms, allowing for intricate and precise surgical maneuvers.
What types of liver surgeries can be performed using robotic technology?
Robotic technology can be used for various liver surgeries, including: Liver resections: Robotic-assisted liver resections involve the removal of liver tumors or diseased portions of the liver while preserving healthy liver tissue. Liver cyst removal: Robotic surgery can be employed to remove cysts or fluid-filled sacs from the liver. Liver transplantation: While less common, robotic technology has been used in some liver transplant procedures to assist with the intricate surgical tasks.
