Human life is evolving and so is technology . Healthcare, which is one of the major concerns in the 21Century , is entering a phase where technology is becoming an enabler. In the near future, say technologists and doctors, robots will help us a great deal in bringing down the northbound costs of healthcare and improving operational efficiency and quality of care. "Using robots in a surgery leads to enhanced safety, precision and minimum discomfort to the patient. In this procedure, the surgeon controls all the steps at the console, making the same movements as he does in conventional surgery. These movements are transmitted to the four robotic arms and instruments, which actually carry out the surgical steps on the patient ," says Dr AS Soin, chief liver transplant surgeon and chairman, Medanta Liver Institute, who recently conducted a liver transplant with the help of a robot.
