Principles of Robotic surgery
Due to this technique a surgeon can perform operations from a remote distance. The surgeon gets an excellent three dimensional view of the heart through the fiberoptic stereoscopic camera. The surgeon's hand motions are relayed to a computer processor, which digitizes and relays them to the fine instrument tips placed into the chest cavity through small 1 cm port incisions. First, the computer interface permits the accurate translation of the surgeon's hand motions to a dexterous endoscopic "wrist" placed within the chest cavity.
