Therefore, it is important for the reader to understand that, compared to previous methods, robotic surgery actually represents an improvement for society. Research has shown that with robotic interventions, bleeding has been significantly reduced. This is due to the smaller incisions needed for the procedure, but it is also due to the fact that surgeon-controlled movements have the added feature of tremor control in the device. This feature effectively compensates for the natural tremors of the surgeon's hands and allows for more stable movements during surgery. (Lanfranco, Castellanos, Desai and Meyers,
