Robotic Surgery and Endoscopic Surgery

The use of robotic surgery in the less invasive treatment of gastrointestinal cancer is growing. In the treatment of gastrointestinal cancer, robotic surgery is carried out using a robot-assisted surgery system. In this approach, the surgeon controls the robot rather than an autonomous system. A tiny incision or a natural orifice like the mouth or nose are used during endoscopic surgery to insert a thin, flexible tube holding a video camera. The tube contains a channel that the surgeon can utilise while using tiny surgical tools and monitoring the organs on a computer monitor.
