Robot Performs Surgery
Earlier in May, a surgery broadcast live caught people's attention, as the surgeon was a robot.
The robot successfully performed a pancreatic tumor excision on a 45-year-old female patient.
The robot is a cutting-edge medical surgery system, featuring high-resolution imaging, twistable arms and intuitive control.
The robot's anti-shake design and highly-synchronized control system allow for more stability and accuracy compared with human hands.
But this technology is not new. Beijing's 301 Hospital had introduced the system as early as 2006. Now, the hospital owns 52 such robots, which have performed over 10,000 surgeries in the past decade.
