Having just had successful (as far as can be determined) gall bladder surgery supposedly with the assistance of robotics, in our smaller hospital....I have to wonder about this. Apparently the completely performed robotic surgery was on pigs. Mine was not , rest assured. I wonder to what extent robotics is commonly used in this type of surgery.

Robotics is already used in knee replacement surgery. Those robots just don’t look “HUMANOID”.
