The Benefits Of Robotic Surgery

My first topic I chose was challenging when it came down to the researching process of my project. It was hard to locate credible sources. I don’t think my argument provided enough details. I could not find any information when it came to searching for academics articles from the library database. In the end result, I decided to change my argument and narrowing it down so it wouldn’t be so broad. My current argument is that robotic surgery is more precise, which reduces rick, incision and shortens recovery. Upon, searching for information in the library data bases, I found it useful to use keywords such as, “Robots and Surgery.” When I typed these two words in the search engine it made it easier, as it provided me with a lists of different …show more content…
According to Minimally Invasive Robotic Surgery Shortens Recovery and Reduces Risks, “According to the author, the development of robots for surgery has led to a laparoscopic gripping hand; thin, flexible tools that can snake through the body with small or no incisions; and robots that are MRI-compatible” (Allan). Robotic surgery is more faster and accurate than any other surgery. This surgery provides flexible tools that can maneuver throughout with making the slightest cut. In open or conventional surgery and procedure may last for several hours. For a human being that can become exhausting which lead to a shorten attention span. As a result, the surgeon 's hand will become tired and they will be more prone to make mistakes, but a robot hand never gets tired or fall out of position. in the article, “ Medical robots are assisting in urological, neurological, gynecological, cardiac, orthopedic, gastrointestinal, pediatric, and radio-surgical procedures”(Allan). The robots are capable to operate and perform many different procedures. There are three different types of surgical procedures, such as supervisory-controlled, tele-surgical and shared control systems. By the way, supervisor-controlled surgeries, is when the surgeon tells the robot what to do and it performs. However, in telesurgery , the surgeon controls and changes the robot 's hand from a distance using 3-D imaging. The most popular procedure is the shared-control, which they use the robot to help assist surgical instruments. Also, the U.S. government is planning for a huge uprising in robotic surgery. According to Minimally Invasive Robotic Surgery Shortens Recovery and Reduces Risks, “ The Trauma Pod program from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) envisions the operating room of the future”(Allan). Lastly, the government hopes to use
