Do Robot Make Better Surgeons than Human?

Robotic surgery has been heavily promoted by a number of hospitals, big and small, in the United States. The use of surgical robots in the operating rooms is considered to be the latest technological breakthrough in science, according to media sources. Compared to traditional surgeries, which requires almost a dozen of surgeons, robotic surgery eventually eliminates the need for some personnel. 
The surgical robot is controlled by only one surgeon who is sitting at a computer console. It uses special instruments to enhance the surgeon's skill and precision. They assist surgeons who sit at control consoles that display three-dimensional images on video screens and allow the surgeons, using computer controls, to easily maneuver the surgical instruments inside the body. With this, there are some who considered surgical robots to be better than human surgeons. This article will help you learn about the advantages of robots over human surgeons.

• Surgical robots make smaller incisions than traditional open surgery.
• Able to operate easily on complex or sophisticated surgeries
• Reduces blood loss and transfusion
• Lessens the risk of developing infection, pain and discomfort
• The use of surgical robot shortens patient's hospitalization
• Faster recovery time and normal return to daily activities

However, there are some people who refuse to undergo robotic surgery. People say that robotic surgery is new and there is not a lot information supporting its benefits. It is important also to note that with any new surgical procedure, it is relevant to know the track record of the human surgeon involved. The surgeon’s history is relevant to the risks a patient will be taking, whether there is a robot involved or not.
