As Lauren Dyrda states, "The company announced last year that 118 patients had more than 590 screws implanted at the Mainz University Medical Center in Germany with a 99% accuracy" (Dyrda). According to Dyrda, the robotic surgeons placed the screws more accurately than the non-robotic surgeons. This proves that robotic surgery is more accurate than a human performing the procedure with their own hands. The average cost of robotic surgery is between seven thousand and nine thousand dollars. Shirley DeWinter says, “I had to book the operating room for four hours” (DeWinter). The times of a robotic surgery are even longer than those of a manual operation, which increases the cost of the operation. As the reporter states, “A recent study published in a major medical journal found that robotic surgery did not reduce hysterectomy complication rates, although it added more than two thousand dollars more to the cost of the surgery” (Robotic Surgeries on the Rise). . By using a robot for the surgical procedure, the cost of the surgery increases dramatically. Therefore, this causes a limited number of patients to receive robotic surgery due to financial limitations. One thing you need to consider is whether your insurance company will cover some of the surgeries. Robotic surgery costs much more than regular surgery
