The Future of Robotic Surgery

Robotic surgery, or robot-assisted surgery, allows doctors to perform many types of complex procedures with more precision, flexibility and control than is possible with conventional techniques. This is a newly emerging market and has massive potential for growth. The top 5 companies in this industry are Intuitive Surgical, Stryker, Accuray, Smith & Nephew, and Mazor Robotics. With the continuous advancement of technology I believe there is no doubt that this industry can 10x in size in the next 5-10 years. There are so many benefits to robotic surgery that it is honestly a no brainer that the industry will succeed. Keep in mind that the surgery is not done solely by the robot itself, the doctor controls everything the robot does but the incisions that the robot makes for example are far better than most humans can make. With this emerging market I can see the United States economy improving as people will feel safer going in for surgery and they will be able to return to normal life quicker than before. What do you guys think? Would you be ok with robots helping with your surgery?

  1. Robots would take over the industry and cause all labor to be done by robots instead of humans. This would not only make humans more lazy, but it would go towards a world where technology would take over each aspect of our lives making it difficult for humans to enjoy the world and its nature as it is. And robots are hardwired by humans, so if a human can make a mistake, I wouldn't be too confident on a robot to not do the same thing. So no, I would not be ok with robots helping with surgery even if it might be more precise and accurate.

  2. I think when I get older and become more susceptible to heath issues, I would be alright with robots assisting with my procedures. We are one of the first generations to really see robots take over in the workplace like never before so this type of thing is more normalized for our generation and younger.
