The video tutorial discusses the advantages of using a robotic platform in keyhole surgery, highlighting how it simplifies complex tasks that are traditionally difficult with standard instrumentation. The ergonomic design allows for better control and comfort, enabling precise movements and visualization. The tutorial also addresses the challenges faced in traditional keyhole surgery and how robotic systems offer a more straightforward and efficient solution.

What is one of the main challenges of traditional keyhole surgery?

• Limited wrist action

• Excessive bleeding

• High cost of equipment

• Lack of trained professionals

How does the robotic platform improve keyhole surgery?

• By eliminating the need for a surgeon

• By increasing the size of incisions

• By enhancing instrument rotation and wrist action

• By reducing the need for anesthesia

What ergonomic feature does the robotic system offer?

• Automatic suturing

• Voice-activated controls

• Disengage and engage system for comfort

• Built-in lighting

What is a key advantage of using robotic systems in surgery?

• More complex procedures

• Increased operation time

• Enhanced wrist action and visualization

• Higher risk of infection

Why is robotic surgery considered faster than traditional methods?

• Due to the use of larger incisions

• Because it requires fewer instruments

• Due to enhanced wrist action and visualization

• Because it uses more advanced anesthesia
