Experts are predicting that in ten years time robots will assist surgeons in carrying out operations without the need for making an incision to the human body. And how will that happen if you may ask? quite simply the small robots will be inserted inside the human body through natural openings which will assemble once there in to bigger units capable of carrying small movements and surgical operations. The whole concept is to aid the surgeons and not replace them. Such operations will be painless, won’t require anesthetics and will ensure swift recovery for the patients. Laparoscopic cameras which traditionally require an assistant to move will now be moved by a device mounted on the surgeon’s head and a foot pedal. However, the obvious loss to this all is the absence of sense of touch which the human hand has, but this the experts say can be overcome by repeated use and better skills. But I am going to wait till they start Liposuction without pain and anesthesia
