Robots Successfully Performed Surgery Without Any Human Help
Laparoscopy (also known as keyhole surgery) is a procedure performed in the abdomen or pelvis. Compared to open surgery which involves making large incisions, laparoscopy is less invasive and less painful. This is made possible thanks to the laparoscope (the camera inserted in the tiny incisions. However, this procedure is much more difficult from the surgeon's perspective.Fortunately, it seems that doctors don't need to do complex surgeries such as this one in the near future, as robots will do it for them.One such robot is the Smart Tissue Autonomous Robot — STAR for short. According to The Guardian, scientists say that this robot performed "significantly better" results than humans.Now, this is a medical breakthrough.(Image Credit: Johns Hopkins University/PA)#Surgery #Medicine #Laparoscopy #KeyholeSurgery #robot
