Robotically Controlled Cardiac Surgery: Safer and Faster Recovery

The video discusses the advantages of robotic heart surgery, highlighting its safety and reduced trauma compared to traditional methods. It explains the minimally invasive techniques using the da Vinci Surgical System, which involves robotic arms and a camera for precision. The procedure has a high success rate and is used for coronary artery bypass and valve repairs. Patients experience quicker recovery times, and the cost-effective nature of the surgery in India attracts medical tourists. The technology, developed with NASA's help, offers significant cost advantages over similar procedures in the US and UK.
