Abstract :
With laparoscopy, for the first time the surgeon was separated from direct contact with tissues and organs allowing the introduction of robotic and computer technologies into surgical operations, with two distinct potential advantages: 1) enhancement of precision and dexterity and 2) performance of surgical procedures from a distance, a concept known as telesurgery.
