At the same time, the American robot surgeon showed significantly better results than humans, which was another step towards fully automated operations.

A Smart Tissue robot named Star performed a laparoscopic operation to connect the two ends of the intestines of four pigs, writes The Guardian.
Thus, the robot has succeeded in a procedure that requires a high level of precision and repetitive movements.
Connecting the two ends of the intestine is a complex procedure in gastrointestinal surgery that requires the physician to sutured with high precision and consistency.
Even a slight trembling of the hands or an incorrectly applied suture can lead to complications and even death.
New robot taught adjust the surgical plan in real time, as a human surgeon would.
