# What is Robotic-assisted surgery?

Source: https://oncologyistanbul.com/glossary/robotic-surgery

> Minimally invasive surgery performed through small incisions using a robotic system (such as da Vinci) that the surgeon controls directly.

The surgeon operates robotic arms from a console, which translate hand movements into precise, tremor-filtered instrument control through small ports rather than a large open incision. It is used for procedures like radical prostatectomy, where nerve-sparing technique benefits from the added precision.
