Robodoc.....New surgeon appointed...

Indian hospitals welcome Da vinci,the $2million four arm robot that performs high precision surgery.It doesnot resemble a human being,four arms,a video like console and a television screen like visual system.Not put together as a composite whole,but spread out in the operating theatre as functional parts.The robot is clearly the star in OT 1 at Manipal hospital in Bangalore.Three handpicked surgeons are extensively trained in robotic surgery and computer assisted surgery are back from USA,practise what learnt.
While operating a sterile polythene garb is carefully pulled over his arms. As the doc moves his joysticks ready for video console the robot mimics the same inside patients body.The robot is lot more accurate and steady.It can move his wrist in any direction ,at any angle.The fact is that limitations of laparoscopy are well evident only makes the shift more desirable.Doctors say that robotic arm feels just like an extension of me.
The success story began with urologic surgery,and has gone on to include gynaecologic,cardiac,thoracic,head and neck and general surgical procedures.Indian hospitals are recently appointing him because of its whopping cost.The first indian robotdoc came to Fortis in 2002.The surgeons are trained for three to six months before they gain confidence to work with new doc.As far as the patient are concerned,best part is they can come back in two three days instead of ten twelve.
So next time any of us goes to white  coat visit....check out if he is human.......
