Source A: The Future of Surgery

"Recent advancements in surgical technology, such as robotic-assisted procedures and laser surgeries, have revolutionized patient care. These innovations allow for less invasive operations, shorter recovery times, and improved precision. Surgeons now utilize computer-guided systems that enhance accuracy during complex procedures. However, critics argue that dependence on high-tech equipment may reduce the skills of surgeons and create disparities in healthcare access. The integration of artificial intelligence in diagnosis and operative planning promises even greater breakthroughs, but raises ethical questions about machine reliance and decision-making in life-and-death situations. Overall, high-tech surgery is transforming modern medicine, though it is accompanied by challenges that require careful management."* Provenance: Dr. Jane Lee, 2022, report on surgical innovations for Medical Journal.
