At right, Carl R. Darnall Army Medical Center urology surgeons Dr. Hsiang Chi (Cathy) McLaughlin and Maj. Tara Ortiz prepare a patient for robotic surgery. The patient first is positioned on a special operating table. Four, pencil-thin metal rods are then into the patient’s body cavity. At the tip of the internal rods are surgical tools for dissecting and suturing such as a scalpels, forceps and spreaders that robotic-certified surgeons remotely control. The detachable rods are then inserted into the robot’s arms, which simulate the surgeon’s wrist actions.
