 Hello, I am Dr. Deepak Dubey. I am a consultant urological surgeon and head of the department of urology at Manipal Hospital's Bangalore and I also perform robotic urological surgery. Leproscope is keyhole surgery which is much in vogue because of the minimal incisions made and the faster recovery and so forth. Now robotic surgery uses certain very peculiar instruments of the robot and these instruments have got wrists that is the wrists once the instrument goes inside it can rotate to almost 360 degrees inside and thus give a lot of freedom to the surgeon. The degrees of freedom of the wrist movement are much superior than the human hand whereas Leproscope uses only rigid instruments which are straight and do not have any wrists. The second thing about robotic surgery is it gives three-dimensional images and ten times magnification of the surgical field which Leproscope does not. So essentially both are keyhole surgeries Leproscope and robot assisted surgery but the robot is far superior because it has these rusted instruments, three-dimensional vision and good magnification. So that makes the procedure a lot more convenient for the surgeon to give better results with robot assisted surgery.
