Robots give a helping hand
Article Abstract:
Robots are now affecting surgery and other aspects of medicine. In Nov 1992 a robot formed the cavity for a hip implant into a femur, carving a hole with 95% precision; surgeons aspire to merely 20%. Other robots help doctors see inside the body, performing operations without damaging healthy flesh that is in the way. Virtual reality will give operating room staff the impression that they are actually inside the patient. Another robot will help nurses move patients.
