What is Robotic Surgery for Mediastinal Cancer?

Robotically assisted surgery is a good option for many individuals with mediastinal carcinoma. Robotic Surgery is a type of minimally invasive surgery.

In this method, the surgeon uses a robot to perform complex procedures with more precision, accuracy and flexibility than by hand.

Instead of a large cut, the surgeon makes a very few tiny incisions to insert the robot’s small arms. A slightly larger incision is made only to remove the tumour safely.
