  • What is robotic surgery and how does it work?

    Robotic surgery involves advanced laparoscopic surgery with local remote control of instrumentation. The robot essentially responds to the surgeon's hands, and therefore the surgeon is in control at all times. The advantage of the robot is the hi-definition, 3-dimensional, magnification of the operative field, and the flexibility of the robotic arms. Robotic surgery is currently practiced throughout the New York Tri-state region, with applications in general surgery, gynecology, urology, thoracic, and other surgical specialties. Robert L.
