I'm a medical professional and I've always been really fascinated by how surgical tech has improved over the years. Imagine going from basic tools to the super-cool gadgets we use now in surgery — it's been wild! I'm gonna give you a rundown of some really cool changes in surgery tech and how they're shaking things up.

Robotic Surgery

Endoscopy

Lasers

3D Printing

Virtual Reality (VR)

Robotic Surgery

One of the most major improvements in recent times is robotic surgery. Doctors use these super advanced equipment to do super fancy surgery with a degree of accuracy and control you can't believe.

I actually got to see a robotic surgery up close, and it's just amazing. The doc operates with these very small robot arms that've got cameras and surgery tools on them. They stick through a a few minor openings. And not only does this reduce complications, but it helps patients heal more quickly too.

Endoscopy

Gastroscopy has been a big win in surgical methods too. It lets doctors inspect at what's going on inside using small incisions.

There was a time when finding out about issues such as gastric problems meant a major surgery. Now we can diagnose and deal with these conditions with reduced invasion. It means less discomfort and a faster recovery for patients.

Lasers

Laser treatment have completely changed the game for surgery in lots of ways. They can remove tumors or do precise surgical procedures, all while being high precision and low invasive.

I've seen how laser surgery makes a difference, big time in eye procedures like correct vision issues. It's got this really rapid and accurate action that's completely changed numerous medical disciplines of surgery.

3D Printing

Three-dimensional printing has been a real breakthrough for surgical devices. Now doctors can make tailored implants and devices that are exactly suitable for each patient's body.

I had a case where a man needed a hip prosthesis just for him, and guess what? The three-dimensional printing tech came to the rescue. It means a ideal fit for the patient and it really improves their well-being.

Virtual Reality (VR)

Virtual reality is gradually gaining traction in surgery. Doctors can use VR for education and simulating complex surgical procedures. It helps them enhance their expertise and self-assurance before they do the real thing.

I got to give VR education a shot, and it's been excellent for acquiring knowledge and refining my surgical techniques. This tech could totally transform surgical training processes and improve patient care.

We've made some significant advancements in surgery with all these cool advancements. It's super exciting to be in this field right now, and I'm really looking forward to seeing what's next for surgery tech.
