Abstract

“Primum non nocre” is a Latin phrase that means “first, to do no harm” dates back to Hippocratic Oath, is one of the principle percepts of bioethics that all healthcare students and professionals are taught in medical school throughout the world. The same principle is followed by surgeons worldwide to perform surgeries doing minimum tissue damage and post operative pain to their patients. Evolution is a continuous process and the surgical techniques are constantly being modified. The advent of Laparoscopy or Minimal Access Surgery was a boon to many a patients giving them early recovery and recumbence. Robotically assisted surgery was developed to overcome the pre existing limitations of Minimal Access Surgery i.e. 2D vision, dexterity, tremors,freedom and rotation of movements, surgical précising and accuracy and to enhance the capabilities of surgeons performing open surgery.
