What if your future surgeon were a robot? Published on Share
From semi-autonomous “robot surgeons” to bioengineered skin tissue, some of the most promising innovations are coming from the “Silicon Valley of robotics”: Switzerland.
“Robotic surgery is the future of surgery. There is no alternative,” said Philippe Morel, a surgeon and pioneer of medical robotics in the Alpine country, six years ago. In 2010, he performed the first gastric bypass operation at one of Geneva’s university hospitals (HUG) using robotic surgery infrastructure from the United States, the Da Vinci Surgical System.
Since then, the technology has made great strides, marking a turning point in medicine, especially in certain areas. In the field of urology, for example, surgeries related to prostate, kidney and even bladder cancer are now increasingly performed with the help of the Da Vinci robot. Since 2015, more than 22 centres in Switzerland have been equipp

Writes about the impact of new technologies on society: are we aware of the revolution in progress and its consequences? Hobby: free thinking. Habit: asking too many questions. Robotic surgery is the future of surgery. There is no alternative, said Philippe Morel, a surgeon and pioneer of medical robotics in the Alpine country, six years ago.
