🚨 ROBOTS CAN NOW HELP WITH SURGERY — AND THEY’RE ACTUALLY GOOD AT IT Medtronic tested its Hugo robot in 137 real surgeries — fixing prostates, kidneys, and bladders — and the results were better than doctors expected. Complication rates were super low: just 3.7% for prostate surgeries, 1.9% for kidney surgeries, and 17.9% for bladder surgeries, all beating safety goals from years of research. The robot got a 98.5% success rate, way above the 85% goal — meaning it didn’t just pass the test, it basically set the curve. Out of 137 surgeries, only 2 needed to switch back to regular surgery — 1 because of a robot glitch, and 1 because of a tricky patient case. This doesn’t mean robots are replacing surgeons tomorrow, but it does mean your next doctor might have a very expensive metal sidekick. Source: RTTNews
