Robotic surgery is a prominent technology that holds a significant contribution towards the perception of medical science in performing surgeries, often interpreted as the new revolution. The objective of the study is to evaluate the challenges encountered by surgeons to perform robotic surgeries among different patients.
Convenience sampling method was adopted to conduct the study with a sample size of 60 respondents, surgeons of various private hospitals based on the primary data collected from the respondents. ANOVA, Chi-square statistical tests were performed using Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS). Age, Gender, Specialization area, Cost, Treatment, Perception, Comfort level, Experience, and Surgery were the variables considered.
Surgeons are more comfortable in treating different types of diseases implementing robotic surgery across the different patients irrespective of surgeon's gender being significant at 0.05 per cent level at p (0.049), age group of surgeons at p (0.036). They can perform the surgery easily based on their expertise area while treating all types of diseases with a greater level of comfort which is significant at 0.01 per cent level.
Robotic surgery has an exceptional significance in transforming the world of surgery with benefits like smaller incisions, better visualization, fewer scars, less pain, shorter hospital stay, fewer side effects, and faster recovery time. It also promotes the application of innovative technology in treating the most complicated diseases with ease.
