Surgeons are trained to accurately operate on you when you need it, but robotic assistants could help them get to hard-to-reach areas and boost their accuracy even more. Senhance, the robotic surgical assistant that has just earned the FDA’s approval, was designed to accomplish both of those. The machine can help surgeons carry out minimally invasive surgery — in fact, the FDA has approved its use because after a pilot test involving 150 patients, the agency has concluded that Senhance is as accurate as the da Vinci robot when it came to gynecological and colorectal procedures.
Now that Senhance has been approved by the FDA, you’ll likely start seeing it — from afar, we hope, and not while you’re on the operating table — in hospitals across the US. Here’s a sample procedure being performed with the machine’s help if you’d like to watch it in action.
