Surgery Robots Mean More Education And Training For Both Nurses And Doctors
More and more hospitals in the developed world are employing robots in surgery, including Japan, for example. Iseikai Hospital in Osaka and Nagoya Kyouritsu Hospital in Nagoya are just two Japanese hospitals that use these labor-saving surgical automation systems.
However, despite their success in the surgery room, these robots also had unintended consequences like creating issues in the way the insurance companies are billed for “services rendered.” Billing for operations performed by robots are already a topic of controversy in Japan since they are not categorized as “regular surgical operations.”
