The medical field has revolutionized the health and well-being of society. Over the decades, the medical field has gone through radical changes that leave society amazed. It seems like with every passing year there is a new technological advancement that modernizes the medical field. These advances not only modernize medicine, but in return help doctors, nurses, and specialists improve their effectiveness in the field. About ten years ago, the da Vinci surgical system was introduced into hospitals and the medical field, generally because the FDA had finally approved the system in the United States (Dunkin). The da Vinci surgical system, also known as robotic surgery, introduced the use of a surgical robot, which is operated by the doctor himself using a controlled manipulator (Declan et al.). Before the invention of robot-assisted surgery, most surgeons simply performed a typical laparoscopic surgery on a patient. Laparoscopic surgery is “a type of surgery performed through several small incisions, rather than one (or more) large ones as in standard “open” surgery” (Schmitz). Through the development of superior technologies, such as the surgical robot; it has brought about changes that have affected doctors, patients and the medical world. A robot-assisted surgery demonstrates how far America and the entire world have come in terms of technology in a particular field of work. The need for more advanced technology in the hospital setting is best supported by the development of the da Vinci surgical system. In 1991, when the surgical system was introduced to the world, many recognized that this system improved three different aspects of normal laparoscopic surgery: it gave the doctor... came out of the shadows into a brighter future with the development of the surgical system da Vinci in the medical world. Before the advent of the surgical robot, doctors or surgeons would have to make several incisions on the patient's body, which would cause a prolonged and possibly painful recovery. The da Vinci surgical system allows surgeons to make smaller, less visible incisions on the patient's body and have better precision during the procedure. For several years, surgeons have relied on typical laparoscopic surgery to be able to provide patients with procedures that required them to make large incisions through the patient's abdomen. Nowadays, surgeons and their patients can breathe a sigh of relief because the surgical robot provides surgeons with the precision they have long aspired to.
