About this listen
Many patients ask me a very common question — “Doctor, does the robot actually perform the surgery on its own?”
The answer is simple: No. The robot never operates independently.
As a Head and Neck Robotic Surgeon in Bangalore, I control every single movement during robotic surgery. I sit at a specialized console that gives me a high-definition, 3D view of the surgical area. Using precise hand and foot controls, I guide the robotic arms, which can move with more accuracy and steadiness than a human hand.
The robot doesn’t make decisions or act on its own. It simply translates my movements into incredibly stable, precise actions. This technology eliminates natural hand tremors, offers superior visibility, and allows access to areas that are difficult to reach with traditional surgical methods.
So when you hear the term “robotic surgery,” remember — it’s not the robot replacing the surgeon. It’s the surgeon using advanced technology to deliver better outcomes, less pain, and a faster recovery for patients.
