As doctors assure, there is no need to be afraid of artificial surgeons: they perform operations better than living people.
What progress has come! According to Western media reports, a robotic gynecologist named da Vinci has appeared at Elmhurst Hospital in New York, whose duties include performing surgical operations, such as removing suspicious neoplasms.
According to the head of the department of gynecology at the hospital, Dr. Barry Brown, the artificial surgeon has obvious advantages over a person: he performs operations more accurately, they are less painful, the patient loses less blood, and the risk of infection is significantly reduced. “Whereas earlier for some interventions it was necessary to spend a whole week in the hospital, now you can do with one day,” says Dr. Brown.
By the way, robotic surgeons are already successfully used in our country. Back in March of this year, the St. Petersburg SZFMITs im. V.A. Almazov. At first, da Vinci performed the simplest operations, and now he is already trusted with complex ones, for example, he operates on complicated endometriosis.
Those who are afraid to entrust their health to technology can be reassured: the operation is monitored by a doctor who controls the robot using a computer. And he exactly repeats the movements of a living person. At the same time, the artificial surgeon does not get tired and there is no risk that his hand will tremble during the operation.
