The Current Robotic da Vinci System has Limitations for Colorectal Surgical Procedures
Journal Title: Journal of Advances in Medicine and Medical Research - Year 2014, Vol 4, Issue 14
Abstract
Since the introduction of the robotic da Vinci Surgical System, several advantages have been demonstrated in all surgical specialties, particularly in pelvic surgery. However, the current system still has several limitations; one is technically related. In this article, we give our opinion on this limitation and present our recommendations for improvement of robotic surgery in relation to colorectal surgery.
