Approach
Where robotic surgery fits
Robotic surgery is a surgical platform rather than a separate specialty. It can be used for selected upper gastrointestinal, hepatobiliary, adrenal and general surgical procedures where the anatomy and clinical situation are suitable.
Benefits
A minimally invasive option
For appropriate patients, robotic-assisted surgery may allow precise dissection through small incisions. Whether robotic, laparoscopic or open surgery is preferable depends on the condition being treated, previous surgery, anatomy and the safest oncological or operative plan.
Individual assessment
The operation determines the technique
The aim is not to use a particular technology for its own sake, but to choose the approach most appropriate to the patient and the operation.
