The Surgery is quite common in the developing world where about 10 to 15% of people develop gallstones. Robots are already used in ten of thousands of different procedures each year, and experts predict machines will be used to boost understaffed hospitals worldwide. A Canadian Surgical team in Calgary made history this year by using a robot to remove brain tumour. Doctors were able to use remote controls, The robot surgeon is capable of both microsurgery and image guided biopsy from a computer workstation. this is successfully remove a brain tumour of a 21 year old woman. surgical instruments acting as the hands of the robot called neuro arm provided surgeons with the tools needed to successfully remove the egg shaped tumour. but according to a patient it was scary at first but she really trust his doctors and she knows they would keep her safe.

hi ana! oh wow, that is some disturbing news there. honestly, i dunno if i would want my surgeon to be a doctor. i know that human judgment is also limited, but i am not really comfortable with having a robot for my surgeon. well, i dunno if they are really that reliable. i am sure they will be tested over and over again. but still, i have my qualms. hehe anyway, i do hope that girl will have a successful operation. take care and God bless you! thanks for sharing the news. happy mylotting!
