Performing Complex Surgeries With Single-Incision Robotics

Read it. And watch the video.
Robotics are helping make minimally invasive surgeries even less invasive. Case in point: single-port robotic surgery, a relatively new type of approach where a robotic system controlled by a human surgeon executes the procedure by making only one incision into the patient.
Although still relatively uncommon, single-port surgery has been gaining momentum in recent years. The benefits are noticeable. Compared to traditional surgery, single-port surgery might leave patients with shorter recovery times, less scarring, and overall better outcomes.
Amazing stuff. Knowledge advances, but comes with a price: All of this equipment is really really expensive.
