The level of integration does not stop here, in a work lab of Dr. Jay Vacanti of the Massachusetts institute of technology with the help of computational mathematics and a stereo-lithography machine …show more content…
The next step of integration for the future surgeons would be a place where the peri-operative period assessed and recorded to observe the procedure, processes and work flow and make necessary amends. In the automobile industry when an instrument is changed, an automatic tool changer is used or if new tool is required a supply dispenser is used, there are no people interacting with the robots. In a suggested concept of a futuristic operating room, patient is brought to an operating room, placed proper position and anesthetized. A holomer is created; the surgeon rehearses the operation on the work station. During the actual process a robotic nurse (Penelope) is utilized to respond to requests to instruments improving the efficacy of the procedure by achieving personnel reduction. However is such a scenario pointing to a future where robots replace surgeons too? Until 2002, fighter pilots were at the peak of their performance. Technological advancement during this period integrated with human skills with the help of flight simulation software gave rise to Unmanned Aerial Vehicles. If there is a lesson here for the next generation surgeons then it needs to be
