Describe how precision surgery technology improves surgical outcomes for patients, using specific examples. (4 marks)
--- 10 WORK AREA LINES (style=lined) ---
Show Answers Only
- Robotic assistance enhances accuracy – The da Vinci Robotic Surgical System eliminates surgeon hand tremors and fatigue, allowing more precise movements during complex surgeries.
- Minimally invasive techniques reduce recovery – LASIK laser eye surgery uses targeted lasers instead of traditional incisions, resulting in faster healing, minimal downtime, and reduced infection risk.
- Advanced imaging tools (3D scans, augmented reality guidance) provide detailed views of anatomy, improving accuracy in complex operations.
- Outcomes include smaller incisions (minimal scarring), shorter recovery times, fewer complications and greater patient confidence in results.
