<unk> ic<unk>  are types of surgical procedures that are done using<unk> ic systems.<unk> ically-assisted<unk>  was developed to try to overcome the limitations of pre-existing minimally-invasive surgical procedures and to enhance the capabilities of surgeons performing open<unk> . In the case of<unk> ically-assisted minimally-invasive<unk> , instead of directly moving the instruments, the surgeon uses one of two methods to administer the instruments. These include using a direct telemanipulator or through computer control. A telemanipulator is a remote manipulator that allows the surgeon to perform the normal movements associated with the<unk> . The<unk> ic arms carry out those movements using end-effectors and manipulators to perform the actual<unk> . In computer-controlled systems, the surgeon uses a computer to control the<unk> ic arms and its end-effectors, though these systems can also still use telemanipulators for their input. One advantage of using the computerized method is that the surgeon does not have to be present, leading to the possibility for remote<unk> . Memory devices play an essential role in preventing any inconveniences in the<unk> . The memory storage solutions can perform multiple functions based on the patient’s physical record. They can also indicate specific information to measure calibration offsets indicating misalignment of the storage drive system, life of the data, and so on.<unk> ic<unk>  has been criticized for its expense, with the average costs in 2007 ranging from $5,607 to $45,914 per patient. This technique has not been approved for cancer<unk>  as of 2019 as the safety and usefulness is unclear.
