Castillo added in the same interview that robotic surgery is not limited to a single type of operation. A milestone in high-precision surgeryHIC began operating with the Mantra 3 robotic surgical system last April and became the first institution in the country to use this technology. How the Mantra 3 robot worksThe advanced surgery platform integrates an open console, high-definition 3D monitors, and modular robotic arms adaptable to each patient. These results demonstrate the rapid expansion of robotic surgery and its growing impact on access to highly complex procedures.
