Would you prefer Traditional Surgery or Robotic Surgury?




Robot Surgery, (2010) written by Jacqueline Owen

Jacqueline Owen list the advantages and disadvantages of robot surgery which i think we can all agree that makes more sense to have in our hospitals now and in the future .

Reading the passage and looking at the advantages the the advantages are more for the patience, as for the disadvantages are more towards the hospitals. Having the robot surgery done on patience  lowers the risk of infections and complication , less trauma and also  released from the hospital sooner which lowers the cost of staying in the hospital.

Then you have your disadvantages  which in the case would be expenses . In the passage it says that one robotic surgery systems costing one million dollars and some maintenance fee, some hospitals have a hard time justifying the expense even with the savings on shorter hospital stays.

Looking at both advantages and disadvantages  the advantages will only get better and the disadvantages will only get smaller for an example , we look at the expenses of medicine back in time it wasn't very cheap but as time past it was cheaper. As time goes by robotic surgery will only get more advance and less complicated and less of an expense since it will be more common.  Taking away more and more disadvantages over time it is a must have process

  1. I feel that the Colors Blog did a great job in describing the essay from Jacqueline Owen. I am not sure if I could ever feel comfortable with the idea of a robot performing a surgery.

  2. The choice of photo for the article is great. The blog is to the point. It lists the advantages and disadvantages so that one will be able to make a decision on their preference. I am in favor of modern technology and new innovations so i welcome robotic surgery.

  8. I liked the way you compared the one side being about the people seeking medical attention and the other about the medical facility. Way to think outside of the box.

  9. Great job with the article colors. I hear, computers are the way to the future. The robotic arms will be performing the surgeries but behind each robot will be human overseeing the procedure, so I will feel more confident. As the time progresses, it will be cheaper to get it done. I would definitely get one done if needed.
