Description
What exactly is robotic surgery — and is a robot really doing the operation? In this video, Dr. Jamie Cannon, a globally recognized colorectal surgeon at UAMS Health, breaks down the truth behind robotic-assisted surgery and what it means for patients. Dr. Cannon explains how she remains fully in control during the procedure, using advanced robotic tools that allow for greater precision, smaller incisions, and faster recovery times. With robotic surgery, complex procedures can be performed in tight spaces with better visualization and minimal disruption to surrounding tissue — meaning less pain and a quicker return to normal life. As a pioneer and international teacher of robotic surgical techniques, Dr. Cannon is passionate about expanding access to minimally invasive surgery and improving outcomes for patients across the world.
