surgeon here - the "robot" is not a robot - you 100% control the instruments. It just allows the instruments to mimic the movements of your hands inside the body, without the big incisions. I've sent patients with lymph nodes between the vena cava and the portal(not the game)vein to robotic surgeons bc the robot can be more precise than me laparoscopically
