disadvantages of robotic surgery

DISADVANTAGES:
  • >> Robotic surgery is a new technology and its uses and efficacy have not yet been well established.
  • >>It is costly and affordability would be limited.
  • >>The size of the systems have relatively large footprints and relatively cumbersome robotic arms.Use in smaller patients will be be difficult.
  • >>The size could also alter the direct access to the patient during surgery.
