India, July 31 -- In spite of the many advantages, surgical robotic platforms have drawbacks. Legacy surgical robots involve a large setup that consumes significant space in the operating room. The platforms are not mobile and cannot be transferred from one room to another after installation. Moreover, the instrument setup and positioning of conventional robotic surgical arms before the procedure require considerable effort, which subsequently increases the total operation time frame. The use of rigid instruments in these traditional surgical robotic platforms becomes extremely challenging in non-linear pathways and makes it difficult to reach anatomical areas such as the brain in a minimally invasive fashion. This has spurred the develop...
