 Hello, I am Dr. Deepak Dubey, I am a consultant urological surgeon and head of the department of urology and Manipal Hospital's Bangalore and I also perform robotic urological surgery. The word robotic surgery is actually a misnomer, it should be ideally called robot assisted surgery and that's how it is known in many areas. Because the robot doesn't perform the surgery and it is the surgeon who uses the facility of the robot to perform the surgery, so essentially it is the surgeon using a tool which in this case happens to be a robot to perform the surgery.
