SAN DIEGO - A new surgical robot at Sharp Memorial Hospital is giving doctors a better"feel" for the patient as they operate.
"These instruments, as I push on different parts of the tissue, they'll tell me how hard I'm pushing and pulling," says Dr. Marquis Hart, one of the leading kidney and abdominal surgeons at Sharp. The robot has four arms that allow for different tools during surgery. It's connected to an ergonomically designed console with a 3D screen. The surgeon sits at the console and operates the robot from across the room.He says this kind of control and feedback helps doctors make surgeries more precise, which can speed up recovery times. Now that he's used it to operate a handful of times, Dr. Hart says it's unlike anything he's used in the past.
