The technology will help doctors do complex surgery while letting them retain control.
The jointed arms with surgical instruments at the end are used to preform keyhole surgery, and are moved by a surgeon who controls them via a computer.
"One of the first operations we'll be doing with the robotic arms is men's prostate cancer surgery," he said. "The wounds are smaller, there's less blood loss, and that in turn means a shorter hospital stay and an earlier recovery, allowing a person to return to work sooner."But he reassured patients that while the technology was being used, the operation was still being carried out by a surgeon, who is in control and makes the decisions.
NHS managers also hope having the latest technology in north Wales' hospitals will help them attract and retain staff.
