Does a robot perform robotic surgery on its own?

It is one of the most common misconceptions patients have when they hear the word robotic surgery.
In this episode of Healthcare Unfiltered by Paras Health, Dr. Smita Singh, Associate Consultant, Obstetrics & Gynaecology, Paras HMRI, Patna, explains that the surgeon remains in control of the procedure, while robotic technology assists with enhanced movement and precision.

The robot does not independently perform the surgery. It is controlled and operated by the surgeon, with technology helping enable movements that go beyond the natural range of the human wrist.
Understanding how technology works is an important part of helping patients make informed decisions and overcome hesitation around modern surgical procedures.
