Mario Nawfal @MarioNawfal 🚨 — AND THEY’RE ACTUALLY GOOD AT IT Medtronic tested its Hugo robot in 137 real surgeries — fixing prostates, kidneys, and bladders — and the results were better than doctors expected. Complication rates were super low: just 3.7% for prostate surgeries, 1.9% for kidney surgeries, and 17.9% for bladder surgeries, all beating safety goals from years of research. The robot got a 98.5% success rate, way above the 85% goal — meaning it didn’t just pass the test, it basically set the curve. Out of 137 surgeries, only 2 needed to switch back to regular surgery — 1 because of a robot glitch, and 1 because of a tricky patient case. This doesn’t mean robots are replacing surgeons tomorrow, but it does mean your next doctor might have a very expensive metal sidekick.

The Medtronic Hugo system is controlled by a human surgeon who operates it from a console, using robotic arms for enhanced precision, dexterity, and visualization. The robot does not act autonomously. Your text is misleading. Elon Musk @elonmusk Robots will surpass good human surgeons within a few years and the best human surgeons within ~5 years. @Neuralink had to use a robot for the brain-computer electrode insertion, as it was impossible for a human to achieve the required speed and precision.

AI can help with diagnostics. Doctors missed a woman's thyroid cancer. AI told her to check her thyroid. She found out she had thyroid cancer.
