The core component of robotic surgery is a robotic surgical system, such as the da Vinci Surgical System. The system consists of robotic arms controlled by the surgeon, a high-definition 3D camera, and specialized surgical instruments.

Robotic surgery provides surgeons with enhanced precision, dexterity, and range of motion compared to traditional laparoscopic surgery. The robotic arms can rotate 360 degrees and perform complex maneuvers with enhanced control, allowing for precise and delicate movements within the body.
