Play Video

Robot-assistance has enabled significant advancements in minimally-invasive surgery worldwide over the past couple of decades. Multiple specialties, from General Surgery to Urology, are able to offer patients the cutting-edge benefits of robotic surgery whether dealing with complex reconstructive procedures for debilitating benign pathologies or for radical surgical extirpation of life-threatening cancer cases. As such, robotic surgery has expanded exponentially globally. However, due mainly to costs, robotics has not expanded quite as well in less affluent countries. In this context, in this webinar, we will discuss some pertinent points for such issues and explore the rationale for expanding robotic surgery in emerging frontiers such as developing countries worldwide.
