Robotic surgery in Neurology

Though the first robotic surgery was performed by neurosurgeons to place a needle inside the brain in the early 80s, it isurology that has adapted to this technology to its maximum potential. The first robotic surgery was done for the removal ofthe prostate gland for cancer. As the prostate is the most deep-seated organ in the pelvis i.e., the lower part of theabdomen, it becomes difficult to approach it with open and laparoscopic surgery, but robot makes a significant difference interms of ease of removal, less blood loss, less operative time and surgical precision. Since then, Urology has been theleading specialty to extend the benefit of this technology amongst all the specialties.
