Meet the Next Generation of Doctors—and Their Surgical Robots

Wired  

When medical student Alyssa Murillo stepped into surgery, she was met with something most wouldn’t expect to find in an operating room: a towering surgical robot. “You have a full 3D view, which is different from any other minimally invasive surgery technique.” The robot Murillo is referring to is the Da Vinci Surgical System. The surgeon uses a console to move the robot almost like a “crane operator.” The robot translates the surgeon’s every move while allowing for wrist control, which is not the case in traditional laparoscopic surgery. A 2020 study in the Journal of the American Medical Association concluded that “the use of robotic surgery increased from 1.8 percent in 2012 to 15.1 percent in 2018.” For some procedures, specifically in urological and gynecological surgeries, that growth is magnified.
