3 Tech-Induced Medical Advancements Gaining Traction
Robot Surgeon
Robot-assisted surgery is an amalgamation of skilled surgeons and advanced technology. Through this technology, the surgeon can get ten-times magnified, high-definition 3D image of the human anatomy, which will give a clear view of the patient. Thus, the surgeon can guide the robot to carry out the surgical procedures. This would be done through a controller in the master-slave system, and the robot would imitate the surgeon's movements. In this robotic surgery, the doctors would have greater control over the situation as the robot hand can rotate 360 degrees, and offer improved dexterity and accuracy. This procedure also has several benefits such as minimal blood loss, lesser tissue damage, fewer chances of infection, quick recovery. Also, it allows doctors to operate within their comfort zone during the surgery.
