Robotic surgery has become popular in recent years and has advantages for both patient and surgeon

Benefits to patients include more precise surgery with less blood loss, fewer infections, less pain, and shorter recovery because of smaller incisions, and in many cases better clinical outcomes

Benefits to surgeons include enhanced visibility and manual dexterity allowing precise surgery in otherwise difficult locations, as well as the ability to operate while sitting
