    While the surgery team prepares a patient for robotic-assisted surgery, Spc. Sereniti Woodford, an operating room specialist for Carl R. Darnall Army Medical Center, readies the surgical tools that will be used for the procedure. The pencil-thin metal rods on the tray are inserted 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.
