      It’s good! You can do the same operations, without damaging the body of the patient (as much). In the future, I think we will see more and more of this, including tiny robots doing the surgery!

      Hi buffy5801,

      I agree with Willem, it is good! I see a lot of doctors interested in doing more surgeries that use modern technology as it can be easier on the patient with less time in the hospital, less damage to the body as Willem said, and potentially a (slightly) easier recovery than more traditional methods. I think we just will have to wait and see what technology can do and we may even have better options soon!

      Hope that answers your question,

      – Fiona
