MIRA procedure
MIRA Procedure
The MIRA Procedure (pronounced: /miːrə/), also known as Minimally Invasive Robotic-Assisted surgery, is a type of robotic surgery that utilizes advanced robotic technology to perform surgical procedures with precision and minimal invasiveness. The term "MIRA" is an acronym derived from the phrase "Minimally Invasive Robotic-Assisted".
Etymology
The term "MIRA" is a modern acronym that was coined in the early 21st century. It is derived from the phrase "Minimally Invasive Robotic-Assisted", which describes the nature of the procedure. The term "minimally invasive" refers to the small incisions used in the procedure, while "robotic-assisted" refers to the use of robotic technology to assist the surgeon in performing the surgery.
Procedure
The MIRA procedure involves the use of a surgical robot to perform the surgery. The surgeon controls the robot from a console, guiding the robot's movements with precision. The robot's small, flexible arms can reach areas that would be difficult or impossible to reach with traditional surgical methods. This allows for smaller incisions, less blood loss, and a quicker recovery time for the patient.
