The medical field has revolutionized the health and well-being of society. Over the decades, the medical field has seen radical changes that have left society stunned. It seems that with each passing year, a new technological advancement modernizes the medical field. Not only do these advances modernize medicine, but they in turn help doctors, nurses and specialists by improving their efficiency in this field. About ten years ago, the da Vinci surgical system was introduced to 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 surgeries, most surgeons would simply perform 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 incisions as in standard 'open' surgery" (Schmitz). Thanks to the development of superior technologies, such as the surgical robot; it led to changes that affected doctors, patients and the medical world. A robot-assisted surgery demonstrates how far America and the entire world has advanced in terms of technology in a particular field of work. The need for more superior 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 regular laparoscopic surgery: It gave the doctor...... middle of paper .... ..y in a medical setting has moved away from the shadows and towards a better future with the development of the da Vinci surgical system in the medical world. Before the surgical robot, doctors or surgeons would have had to make multiple incisions on their patient's body, making the patient's recovery time-consuming and possibly painful. 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 relied on their typical laparoscopic surgery to be able to provide patients with procedures that required them to make large incisions in the patient's abdomen. Nowadays, surgeons and their patients can breathe a sigh of relief as the surgical robot provides surgeons with the precision they have been seeking for a long time..
