Back to IGT:ToolKit

Robotic surgery is the surgical procedure with the involvement of robots. Surgical robots have been mainly used for remote surgery, minimally invasive surgery and unmanned surgery, with major potential advantages of robotic surgery being precision and miniaturization.

We're currently using robots for the following clinical research and trials:

  • Prostate biopy
  • Prostate brachytherapy
