People who have been operated by robots: Their surgical operation is much more accurate and their recovery is faster. Robots are able to operate in inaccessible parts of their body and cause less damage in the tissue around their affected region.

Furthermore, Being operated by robots reduces hospital stay, patients’ trauma and less time is required to be recovered.

Medical robots can only operate babies in their mothers’ womb

The Robot named Minerva was built in 1991. It was designed for neurosurgical interventions.

In the area of bone surgery, Robodoc is one of the pioneers in the development of a new technique that works with tomographic images for pre-planning an intervention hip placement. Other robots are used in laparoscopic surgery and Endosista Aesop.

Robot arms: Padyc and Acrobot, which measure the effort made by the user.

There are robots which allow surgeons to perform their operation in long distances. For instance, a patient can be in London and the doctor is operating him by ordering robot arms with a computer in Manhattan, New York.

There are three metallic designs: the Pathfinder, the Da Vinci and the RCM-PAKY have successfully operated dozens of

patients worldwide:First, the Pathfinder specializes in

neurosurgery, specifically in the localization and removal of tumors in the gray matter,

difficult to reach with the human hand. Next, The Da Vinci, is a robot that specializes in

cardiac surgery and eliminates the need for some open heart operations. And Finally,

RCM-PAKY is a robot which has been used for over thirty patients to remove kidney stones.
