Problems solved by technology

These robotic systems are capable of moving the working end or end effector of a surgical instrument with sufficient dexterity to generally slide the shaft axially through the hole, within the hole, by pivoting the shaft of the instrument at the minimally invasive hole. Rotate the shaft and / or the like to perform fairly complex surgical tasks
