Next clock time you go to get your bile vesica remove , your sawbones may have a bantam assistant . No , it ’s not a gall - covered gnome . It ’s a robot !
Instead of the older laparoscopic cameras that are used for this and other smaller surgeries , unexampled radio set - controlled mini - robot are now being tested on animals ( that grunter did n’t need his prostate gland , anyhow ) . One robot has a camera , while another come with a needle that can extract tissue for biopsies . And yet another can move around the abdominal cavity , with a spiral traffic pattern on its wheels to easy maneuver over organ surface . Yum yum . These robots would pass properly through small incisions on the torso and other automaton are being developed to help in emergency surgery as well .
