DaVinci has an array of mechanical arms which can be operated by surgeons from a remote location. Using the ‘bot, surgeons can control their instruments more precisely than with human hands.
DaVinci was only just put to use earlier this year, however the anesthesia ‘bot McSleepy has been putting patients to sleep since 2008.
The operation marks the first time the two bots have collaborated.
