The World’s first Robot-assisted Cochlear Implantation March 17, 2017 Nicola Future Science & Technology </p> <h2>The World’s first Robot-assisted Cochlear Implantation</h2> <p> Imagine rolling into an operating room to find that your surgical team included a robot. While full-fledged robotic surgeons aren’t quite ready for the spotlight, automatons have already found a foothold in the surgical theater. Some systems allow doctors to control robotic instruments—ones able to slice and dice with inhuman precision—using controls or a computer screen, while other medical robots take a doctor’s place entirely to conduct specific segments of a larger surgery. Now scientists have taken a big step forward with the latter type of bot: in a study published Wednesday in Science Robotics, a team reports the first ever robot-assisted cochlear implantation surgery.</p> <p> Please support our Sponsors here :
