The future has arrived to Tri Cities with robots now helping with surgery at Lourdes. The robot helps make surgery less invasive with lots of different techniques. One of those is that they can make less incisions for each surgery shortening recovery time and other benefits according to reports. The one negative is that with much smaller incisions, there is less room to move and that makes the surgeries take a lot longer then traditional methods.

The robot is not actually doing the surgery, but is controlled by a Dr with a 3d screen.
