🔬 BREAKTHROUGH IN ROBOTIC EYE SURGERY 🔬 > Precision for Retinal Surgery Researchers at the University of Utah have developed a groundbreaking robotic surgery device designed to assist eye surgeons in performing delicate retinal procedures with superhuman precision. 💡 Why It Matters: - Retinal surgeries require extreme accuracy, as surgeons operate on a layer of cells less than a millimeter thick. - Even slight hand tremors, patient breathing, or head movements can affect the procedure's success. > How the Surgical Robot Works: ▫️The robot executes movements as small as 1 micrometer (smaller than a single human cell). ▫️It is mounted to the patient’s head, compensating for movement to keep the eye stable. ▫️A haptic interface scales down the surgeon’s hand movements, eliminating tremors.
