First All-robot Surgery Performed At McGill University
In a step forward for robots, a team of surgeons at McGill University have used the da Vinci robo-surgeon and a robot anesthesiologist dubbed McSleepy to remove a patient’s prostate in what is dubbed as the world’s first all-robotic surgery. Obviously humans were involved in controlling the robots, but the robot transmits high-definition 3D images to a nearby workstation where it is controlled by surgeons, giving the surgeons a precision that cannot be provided by humans alone. Will this pave the way for more robotic surgeries in the future? It doesn’t look like there’s a threat to medical jobs just yet, but who knows what will happen in the future?
