Began the era of medical penetration robot

Currently, the world invests in robot technology at an unprecedentedly high level. They assemble cars, perform micro-surgery, clean up wastewater treatment systems, clear mines.

Medicine is one of the promising directions of robot technology. The United States is famous for its surgical robot named Da Vinci that conducts dissection under human control. This reduces the risk of infection and the accuracy of operations beyond that of surgeons.

However, the price of the robot is too high. Surgeon Yuri Tolkach said that the price of a da Vinci robot in the US is $ 2.5 million and in Russia is more expensive. A set of robotic arms costing 10,000 euros only uses less than 10 times.

Only Russia has 6 da Vinci robots. Song does not know when there are ever new ' made in Russia ' surgical robots because robot technology in Russia is much more outdated than abroad. Russian surgeons are known for having golden hands but with the development of robotic technology that can make their fame nothing more.

At the end of last October, Canadian doctors successfully performed the operation and complete anesthesia by robots. Experts at McGill University used the da Vinci robot set with the anesthesia robot called McSleepy to operate a prostate with a patient .

Italian doctors can be proud of the achievement of using robots for remote surgery, for pancreatic transplantation for a woman with type 1 diabetes for many years. The surgery was perfect, not a small mistake and the woman recovered very quickly.

Modern technology promises new breakthroughs in the field of cardiovascular surgery with robots. It seems that medicine in the future will not need to be operated on in the heart surgery. The robot ' hand ' can touch the heart to perform all operations through a small hole that pierces the patient's chest. The surgeon only needs to look at the screen to observe the 3D image of the beating heart: this image is perfectly consistent with what the surgeon can see when opening the chest.

American company Intouch Health also designed RP-7 robots to train new remote techniques for doctors. The robot called Bloodbot of England conducts blood analysis for other tests while the pathological robot dissects the corpse, helping the doctors to draw on the experience of diagnosis, understanding the course of the disease and helping into criminal investigation (forensic).
