Da Vinci robot performs 500th operation at Liverpool hospital

05-Feb-2016

Key points from article :

Mainly used for prostate cancer surgery.

Enables key hole surgery resulting in smaller scars and less complications.

Robotic arms controlled by surgeon – more accurate and steady.

Of course I’m looking forward to when the machine can be trained to do it itself which will massively increase the number of operations that could be performed.
