4. Advantages ● Remote surgery, minimally invasive surgery, unmanned surgery. ● More precision, smaller incisions, decreased blood loss, less pain, quicker heal time. ● Reduced duration of hospital stays, transfusions and use of pain medication. ● Better control over surgical instruments.

5. Advantages ● Better control over surgical instruments ● Better view of surgical site. ● Surgeons no longer have to stand throughout the surgery and will not fatigue as quickly. ● Since they are using a robot different surgeons can rotate in and out during on surgery.

6. Disadvantages ● Higher cost and higher upkeep cost for the systems. ● Additional training for doctors to learn new systems. ● During training doctors usually take longer to finish operations than usual. ● Patients may have higher expectations which may cause higher rates of dissatisfaction and regret.

7. The Future ● Next Gen Remote Surgery – War – Convenience
