Technology is very important and it has impacted all the major sectors. The major advancement in technology is the invention of robots which are essential in making work efficient and easy. Robots are used in complex activities in the medical sector such as DaVinci robotic surgery Houston.

This system works hand in hand with a surgical system that comprises of the console which is the operation platform, a side robotic cart with four robotic arms and three-dimensional vision systems. Surgical tools are mounted on the three robotic arm while the fourth one controls the camera. The whole system is controlled by the surgeon while the camera provides a three-dimensional magnified video image used by the operating surgeon to monitor the surgery.

The application of the computerized system of surgical operation has permitted minimal invasive operations and is employed for cardiac operations to mend the mitral valve, general operations, head and neck surgeries, prostate cancer operation, urological, Hiatal hernia, colorectal and gynecological repair. Gradually, this form of technology has garnered popularity.

The system has a few benefits. It is constructed so as to minimize invasiveness during operation. This, therefore, decreases the loss of blood in the course of the procedure compared to traditional surgical techniques. Patients that have gone through operations by utilizing this system do not require blood transfusion. The tissues, muscles and nerves heal faster; they are neither touched nor changed and if so it is very slight. Usually, only the areas that are affected are operated and left to recover leading to less discomfort.

The computerized surgeries offer better techniques in operating delicate organs like the heart. The three-dimension imaging used gives the surgeon better viewing of organs unlike the one in traditional operation. This brings with it simpler procedures of operating the body since the surgeon is in a good position to see and even direct the arms to the site, thus treating the disorder without altering other parts.

The robotic procedure does not many scars on the skin because the incisions by the robot are small, this makes healing of the scars quick. The procedure can be done to correct facial malformation because the scars will be invisible and after healing, no one will notice. It is also good for young kids. People in the olden days shied away from surgeries because they were invasive but this approach has changed people perceptions.

In contrast to traditional operating processes whereby the patient remained in the hospital for an extended period of time and took longer to recover; robotically automated processes enable patients to remain for either no or less days. This is due to the fact that few check-ups are required following the surgery. Again, they take a shorter time to recover. The danger of post-operation wounds is similarly diminished because they leave a tiny wound that heals rapidly.

Robotic surgeries are limiting to some extent in Houston TX. The tools needed for the procedure are expensive and only the big hospitals can afford to buy the medical equipment. Surgeons executing the procedure risk losing their tactile sensation. The procedure has also rendered more people jobless because they do not require a big number of people. It is however effective in treating illnesses.
