Getting a Grip on Patients--Physical Therapy Robots Growing numbers of hospitals in Taiwan are utilizing robotic arms for abdominal surgeries such as gallstone removal. Doctors prefer to use minimally invasive procedures for such surgeries because they require smaller incisions and heal more quickly. Robots make this possible by enabling doctors to be far more precise than they could with their unassisted hands.
包括彰化秀傳、台北三總、林口長庚等，國內有越來越多醫院，為病患進行膽結石等腹腔手術時，已由機器手臂代勞，傷口小、復原快的「微創手術」，能深入內視鏡無法到達的部位，精準度較醫師更勝一籌。
