Artificial intelligence robot supports surgery

Thanks to artificial intelligence (AI), robots use data from previous surgeries to inform new technology, causing less complications.

According to Forbes, robotic surgery is considered "minimally invasive" - replacing large, 1/4-inch incision incisions and using miniature surgical instruments. A study conducted on 379 orthopedic patients showed that the process with robots with AI support caused less than 5 times more complications than surgery with only doctors.

Cognitive robots combine information from practical surgical experience to improve techniques. Medical groups integrate data from prehistoric medical records with real-time activity data to improve surgical results. This technique will increase the accuracy of the doctor's device and may reduce the patient's hospital stay by more than 20% after surgery.

The most advanced surgical robot is da Vinci, first used in an eye surgery. They have robotic limbs with attached surgical instruments that provide high definition, magnified, 3D images. Thereby supporting surgeons to perform complex procedures with more flexibility and control than traditional methods.

Besides, a surgeon will control the robot's arm at the computer console near the operating table. This allows doctors to successfully perform surgeries in tight spaces.

In addition, the heart surgeon gets Heartlander - a supportive miniature robot that can through a small incision on the chest to perform cardiac surface therapy. They use a single device to perform stable sensors, map, process and reduce the damage needed when invading the heart. In addition to treating therapy, robots can self-navigate to the indicated location.

Robots analyze a lot of data, from pre-medical records to tools needed for surgery that are estimated at $ 40 billion with the health care industry.
