Doctors there think that robots are one of the best ways of doing a hysterectomy. One patient said, "I had surgery July 1 on Friday and came home on Saturday."

A docotor said, " ... I don't think it's far-fetched to think that traditional laproscopy will be obsolete in the next 10 to 15 years ... " That's pretty crazy to think about. We'll see.
