The Robot Doesn't Do the Surgery. Here's What It Actually Does.
One of the most common misconceptions about robotic surgery is that the machine is in charge.
It isn't. The surgeon controls every movement, every incision, every decision — from a console with hand controllers and foot pedals, watching a high-definition 3D view of the operative site.
What the robotic system contributes is different:
✔ It eliminates hand tremor — so instrument movement is always intentional
✔ It extends the surgeon's reach into spaces no conventional instrument can navigate as precisely
✔ It maintains consistent performance across the entire procedure, not just the first hour
✔ It keeps the surgical team coordinated with stable, predictable instrument behaviour
In soft tissue surgery — where operating areas are small, structures are sensitive, and the margin for error is narrow — this kind of support matters enormously.
Meril's MIZZO Endo 4000 is built around this philosophy: technology that supports the surgical team reliably, procedure after procedure, in real OR environments.
