Dr. Al-Saidi stressed the importance of using this advanced type of robotic system that enables the doctor to perform all the surgical operations that can be performed through laparoscopy in various surgical specialties, and it is equipped with four arms, one for imaging and three for surgery, and these arms enjoy a high degree of flexibility and movement. , where it was manufactured and programmed to perform movements similar to the movement of the human hand, but with higher accuracy, which leads to stitching wounds after the completion of the surgical operation better than the human hand, and the arm can rotate around itself a full rotation under the control of the doctor with the required force, and without trembling or changing the horizontal level to operate which provides more control.
Surgical robot features
Dr. Al-Saidi reviewed the multiple advantages of this advanced technology, which allows doctors to perform surgical operations remotely without the need for the surgeon or patient to travel, which contributes to conducting emergency operations in a timely manner, in order to avoid negative complications, and also helps reduce the burden on patients and allows them to access the best International surgeons are of rare specialties, as it is now possible for the surgeon to perform the surgical procedure in another location away from the patient.
