The Future in Robotic Surgery
One of the latest and greatest innovations in health technology is da Vinci Robotic surgery, which is a minimally invasive and minor surgical procedure and option in healthcare. Robotic surgery is fast becoming a new innovation in technology and surgical procedure in medicine. By definition, robotic surgery is a type of computer-enhanced medical and surgical procedure that is performed by robotic surgeons in order to assist surgeons when they perform minimally invasive surgical procedures. Robotic surgery has grown exponentially in the United States. For instance, there has been over 1.5 million robot-assisted surgeries performed on humans within the past 10 years in the U.S. The da Vinci system of robotic surgery is responsible for making only a few minor incisions to perform surgery with special surgical instruments and a magnified 3D high-definition vision system, which is similar to laparoscopic surgery.

Robotic surgery is a type of computer-controlled and operated device that is specifically used to aid in the positioning and manipulation of surgical procedures and instruments during surgery. Robotic surgery is non-invasive and is relatively safe, secure, and ethical to be performed on humans as a new low-risk surgical option. Robotic surgery is mainly used during minor and low-risk surgical procedures. Robotic-assisted surgery is currently used in hospital facilities to help assist surgeons to perform minimally invasive surgical procedures. Robotic surgery is generally used to perform the following types of surgical procedures: gastrointestinal surgery, endoscopies, laparoscopic surgery, gynecological surgery, urology, pediatric, and cardio-thoracic surgeries.

It is assumed that robotic surgery will become a more commonly used surgical procedure and learned surgical skill performed by surgeons during minimally invasive surgical procedures, and that surgical robots will replace some of the human medical and surgical team workers. That being said, research scientists predict that robots may be able to outperform surgeons at performing all types of surgical procedures in the near future while information and biomedical technology continues to grow, develop, and advance in areas of surgery and health technology. Lastly, it is expected that robotic-assisted surgery will grow exponentially in the near future, and that it may replace the scope and practice of most other minimally invasive surgical procedures performed by surgeons that use surgical instruments, such as for and during laparoscopic and endoscopic surgery.
