Robotic surgery was developed to overcome the limitations of minimally invasive surgery where instrument does not has articulating facility. Instead of directly moving the instruments, the surgeon uses one of two methods to control the instruments ; either a direct telemanipulator or by computer control. A telemanipulator is a remote manipulator that allows the surgeon to perform the normal movements associated with the surgery whilst the robotic surgical arms carry out those movements using end-effectorss and manipulators to perform the actual surgery on the patient. In computer-controlled systems the surgeon uses a computer to control the robotic arms and its end-effectors, though these systems can also still use telemanipulators for their input.

This prsentation is about the past, present and future of Robotic Surgery and also explaining the different advanges of Robotic Surgery.
