During Robotic-assisted surgery, the main surgeon directs from nearby through a machine, but he/she does not stand close to the patients as in traditional surgery. While each surgery proceeds differently, here are the general steps to a Robotic-assisted surgery.
First, the surgeon makes tiny incisions in the body (one to two centimetres long).
Then he/she will insert a miniature robotic instrument and a powerful camera for surgery into the body.
The surgeon sits on a nearby computer console to direct the surgery. The camera inserted can magnify the area with great resolution.
The surgeon simply controls the buttons on the computer to perform the surgery.
Surgical robots respond to the orders in real-time with precision.
The robotic parts, which have a wilder range of motion than a person, make it possible for surgeons to conduct delicate surgeries effectively.
When the physical barriers are demolished, the number of traffics increase easily as people all over the world can find you through a click. Although it is becoming easier to open a store compared to a location-based retail store, online businesses need new and creative ways to gain traffic.
Traditionally, retail stores either sell their own products or sell the products purchased from various suppliers. Almost in all cases, they need to pay in advance to sell products. However, with the advancement of the internet, a new sales option called Dropshipping is born. This method allows you to advertise for products you have not acquired yet and when a customer places an order, you write down the order information to the supplier. The money you make is the difference between the actual cost and your advertised cost. This new sales option enables lots of marketers to enter the retail industry freely and allows them to practice what they do the best–marketing.
Since eCommerce relies on the internet address to thrive, it does not have the idea of open hours and close hours, unless the internet server is affected. This advantage allows products to be sold wherever and whenever. There is a phrase in the business world-make money while you sleep. With eCommerce, this idea can be easily realized.
