Abstract
Surgical robotics offers a number of
attractive features. It can be used to filter out
surgeon’s hand tremor, enhance a surgeon’s
motions and perform microscale movements
that are otherwise impossible for a human to
perform. Because the control workstation can
be located away from the surgical theatre, it
enables a surgeon to manipulate an
instrument during radiation or chemical
treatment, via a robot, distancing the surgeon from harmful effects. Computer aided surgical simulation via virtual reality improves the process of surgical training. New surgeons could ultimately be trained
entirely by computer simulation. Furthermore, the virtual environments provide an environment where there is no risk to a patient.
