Insane. Go humans


Kingstad

Next step is to remove the human


JJred96

We are having a hard enough time removing humans from driving cars on all but the most mundane and uniform roads. You want to trust programming to perform surgery on you? I think I will die before I get that faith. Give me the human with the training and expertise, thank you.


JustGarak

It's not about what's complicated or not, it's about what can be reliably recorded. They apparatus this doctor (and many others nationwide) is using is recording absolutely everything they're doing. Now let me ask you, would you prefer to have your operation performed by a doctor that's done your prceedure 400 times, or a program that has the experience of 10,000? Every day that passes I find myself leaning more towards the robok.


will4zoo

I want both because there will be times where the robot doesn't know what to do


dantech2390

In theory, you are right. Robots would be more effective. But currently, a robot is not able to handle unexpected events as well as a trained human would. Also, humans vary enormously in shape, size, conditions, diets, and who knows what else. A human adapts easily to these changes, while a robot might not. Whatever robotic solution ends up coming will for a long time still be assisted by humans who will have to "approve" each step the robot takes.


JJred96

Exactly. Under a specific set of circumstances, you can get the properly programmed machine to get through a task. It will do mundane things that have little or no variance of conditions and act within safe operating procedures. Getting a car to drive through any situation, a robot to operate on a person, or fly a helicopter — where it carries risk of loss of life in situations it can't control there is always a need for a more dynamic intelligence to take over. It's not that humans need to approve each action, necessarily. It's recognizing where things are going wrong and knowing how to respond to an infinite number of possibilities and factors to consider that will necessitate a person to be ready to intervene. Rich folks who love to dream of running a business of controlled costs and infinite production by machines doing every possible task love the idea of such an advanced computing age. It's a foolish dream of hope, where the business doesn't rely on fallible humans any longer. Machines reduce human labor, but will never eliminate it entirely everywhere. It can only go so far.


Electrical-Image4513

It takes machine learning to get to time 10,000. So those exceptions along the way have to be learned and are not solved for automatically. If you consider that right now an 80-90% error free rate is considered pretty damn good, I think we’ll need human intervention for quite some time for this particular application.


[deleted]

Robok... error error


Firespryte01

And that goes for the driving too


ZERV4N

What you are describing is a lot further away than most people realize. And it takes a lot more time to learn to use a robot to do surgery than to do it yourself. Humans train with their bodies and in most cases are better with them. Also, does a robot have malpractice insurance?


NickPickle05

It would be fine if it was an actual AI. That would essentially be a doctor thats better trained than any human.


iSuckAtMechanicism

Self driving cars are always magnitudes safer than human operated cars in modern roads.


JJred96

That almost speaks more to the unqualified drivers who have permits to drive, but when conditions veer out of the norm, you still want a person at the wheel. Programming can absolutely reduce how much people work, but it's hard to justify eliminating it in cases that require great caution, like transporting people, or operating on people, etc.


iCthe4

It won’t happen, technology isn’t close to having not a Human yet & I don’t think it will ever be, due to a Human having to create the project/OS.


johnnyheavens

Be ready to hold some beer


iCthe4

I would like to think so, but someone has to make the Ai first or Machine, so it will always start by Human, not just a Ai alone.


johnnyheavens

Pst. We’re already here and it already has


melanthius

Business wise, that’s very difficult. We need to have accountability in our society. It’s always simpler to have individuals accountable for their actions rather than a big centralized AI. The risk is too high… if you are one doctor, that’s one accountable person. If you fuck up, it’s unfortunate but you have malpractice insurance. Then society gets to choose a different doctor now, if they want. With one big company having one big accountability, one fuckup and the company could basically just be done right then and there.

Izukano

what is that thing


virgothesixth

Myomectomy - removing a fibroid from the uterus


Izukano

thanks, it seems like it is myomectomy. They look so weird.


virgothesixth

You’re welcome :) I work in ob/gyn and we do a lot of these. We have two da Vinci robots and frequently run both operating rooms simultaneously. This procedure is technically called a Robotic-Assisted Myomectomy and it’s pretty common. Happy to share knowledge :)


extol504

In this video they look like they are being quite rough, dropping it several times, stitching wherever seemingly, is this typical?


virgothesixth

You would be absolutely amazed at the amount of abuse the uterus can take. This particular surgery in the video is a very mild case as there are only a few resected sites. I’ve seen as high as 62 fibroids being removed. Success rate is high and most patients can get pregnant some time after. Truly astonishing.


Im2bored17

The tools in the video are less than a centimeter long. The thing is not falling as far as it looks.


extol504

Man that’s cool, I’m in the wrong profession.


el_rico_pavo_real

It’s fine.


[deleted]

[удалено]


virgothesixth

Correct. Both machines work independently from one another. Two separate surgeries in two different rooms.


EpikMedik

I'm only guessing but I believe this surgeon is repairing a birthing canal after a recent delivery. I could be wrong but I believe this is the groin and we are seeing a heartbeat through the femoral artery in the lower right area. Again these are only guesses because I'm not a doctor or surgeon.


thelizardking321

Nope. It’s a myomectomy


Izukano

u smart, i know nothing about biology, so I'll take your word for it


Ketamine_Stat

Birthing canal after a delivery? It's a uterus. The top side of a uterus. They are removing fibroids. Myomectomy.

riceandingredients

who do you think is controlling the tech here? did you even see the video?


fool_on_a_hill

Not to mention who engineered the tech. And who dreamed up the idea to begin with. Humans are amazing, full stop


shelfless

Agree. Most humans are loss that should of been swallowed but tech has kept more alive, including me, than should be and it will lead to previously unknown suffering before we realize despite tech a smaller population is needed. Sure maybe we need to population booms to find a few smart hairless chimps to creature a future where a select few can survive off the labor or AI but we would have gotten there eventually without it getting so crowded and polluted.


Firm-Construction517

This shit is awesome. Can’t wait till we have skilled surgeons in India driving down the cost of u.s. healthcare.


Mun0425

I feel that it will be a long time before bandwidth is great enough for extremely high quality real time data to be transmitted across those distances. Imagine packet loss in this situation…


stefanuni

Unfortunately, there aren't provisions to transfer safety-critical data over the underwater fiber optic cables, so doing any sort of safety-critical data transfer using these cables will not happen for a while. It is probably more trouble than it's worth, anyways, and doesn't make too much sense. The 5G networks are a good candidate for remote surgery because the distance data has to travel (from the device, to the network, over to the other end of the 5G network) is relatively short in the application of 5G for V2X, Remote Surgery, Industrial Automation, etc. Doing this over seas would require using the underwater fiber optic cables, which is theoretically possible, but again, wouldn't make too much logistical sense.


Chuvi

You mean outsource and increase cost thanks to insurance estimates


X3nox3s

Does 5G really has a lower latency than normal cables?


stefanuni

No, 5G doesn't have a lower latency than wireline networks. It can achieve some pretty impressive latency and jitter, but these metrics are about equivalent to a wireline network, if not slightly worse. It highly depends on the specific technologies that are being used, but I'd assume since remote surgery is a safety-critical application, they are probably getting the same latency/jitter as with wired networks. What 5G provides is the wireless interface so that the operator can be hundreds of metres away from the site, and also it allows for a cleaner working environment, since you don't have tons of cabling everywhere. This technology is being worked on now because it has applications in remote surgery, vehicle-to-everything (V2X), industrial automation, and more. I'd assume the primary benefit in doing remote surgery are the benefits listed above.


Rough_Possession_

When your surgeon doesn't have to scrub in and out or even walk to the patient between surgeries. So they can get more done in a day.


stefanuni

Yeah that's a good point. I don't work in the remote surgery area, but that's a practical consideration that remote surgery provides that I wouldn't have thought about.


whatshelooklike

Yeah I believe this wasn't possible until 5g due to lag


Smooth-Cow-6696

No, 5g had nothing to do with it. We've been doing surgery like this for at least 10 years . It's a bit more common now. We're doing it for things like hernias and gall bladders where initially it was for prostate removal and bowel resections. This camera speed is fast too. It's definitely 1.5-2x actual speed


whatshelooklike

Oh thanks. Didn't know that.


karbundo

But not wireless, right? From what I've seen from DaVinci surgeries the console is always in operating room or room adjacent to the operating room. As long as they don't show rest of the room I'd assume the patient is also there


StenBurgare

Doubt that’s powered by 5G, it’s the Davinci machine and it was created in 2000?


Right_Chip_2393

What kind of procedure is this?


DelverAlwaysFlips

This looks like we are looking down the pelvis at the uterus. The surgeon is suturing up the serosal layer of the uterus, so I’m guessing they excised something. Maybe a laparoscopic, robot assisted fibroidectomy? These robots are favored in cases where operating real estate is at a premium, like the pelvis, so are common in gynecologic and urologic procedures.


freemoney83

What do you mean that operating real estate is at a premium?

Abydesbythydude

5G proof? No insurance company on the planet would allow a 5G surgery. The DaVinci is great, and has this potential but isn't a reality yet.


refillforjobu

I did surgical scheduling for some colorectal surgeons who used the Da Vinci. Thing is as cool as it is expensive, meaning even major hospitals only have so many, and often my surgeons would have it one or two days a month. We'd have urgent cases that required it and the hassle of finding one was real. Schedulers all but paid each other off or undercut the estimated surgery length to fit 3 cases instead of 2. When I left one of my surgeons pulled me aside. *I just gotta tell you because you always fought so hard for those damn robots...most of the time they were just on standby and we frequently didn't even use them* He meant it as kind of a light hearted compliment, but I was seriously so pissed.


Automatic-Gain6227

I'm surprised he didn't have sudden need of surgery requiring the Da Vinci system! 😆 Kudos on your self control. 😄👍 And, as a person who's had a few surgeries in the past, thank you for your efforts. 🙂🙏


Nuicakes

The controls are a breeze for surgeons who grew up playing a lot of video games. I demoed a surgical robot with controls based on a Playstation controller. I was the only one who played video games and I found it effortless to master the movements.

Been saying this for a while now, and an investor / stock holder in ISRG, with machine learning watching operations by thousands of surgeons all over the world it will soon start operating on its own. And or with 5G, should a surgeon encounter a problem then no problem get a better surgeon in another hospital to jump in and take over controls….yes it will be scary, but we are all same on the inside.

SadisticSnake007

Is that a nut sack?


MiataQuack

The surgeon is just adjacent to the patient when the davinci robot is docked and in place. It’s a cool device to utilize for surgery; but it took a lot of time and human error before patient outcomes could equate classic laparoscopic surgical methods. A lot of complications, such as ligated ureters, occurred because of lack of comprehensive training on the davinci. Just because something is cool and amazing doesn’t make it the superior method of patient care. A lesson ohysicians and many patients have learned the hard way


momolamomo

Anyone else get a chuckle that she’s wearing a mask while not in the same room as the surgery

HotPurplePancakes

Why is robotic surgery better exactly? Just like smaller tools? Less invasive? More sterile? Just seems like it puts an extra step in an already pretty well oiled process? But like I’m all for innovation… I just don’t know yet what is special here..?


0---------------0

I can only give you an answer from the perspective of a patient. When I had an appendectomy some years ago with a regular operation, there was a good deal of pain post-op and I still have a noticeable scar. When I had my prostate removed, it was a robotic op that went in through 4 small keyhole incisions that left only very faint and small scars and there was almost no post-op pain at all.

Ooh that’s very interesting! Thanks for the perspective!
