Doctors as Dell Children’s Medical Center have more options now when it comes to surgery. The daVinci Surgical Robot is the first technology of its kind at the children’s hospital.
Mechanical arms do the actual work, while the doctors recreate the actions at a computer terminal watching everything through a high definition 3D camera. Doctors say it helps to get into small areas of the body, especially in children.
