“Dr. Umamaheswar Duvvuri has used a snake-like robot to perform more than a half dozen throat surgeries over the past month. Simply put, the robot is more accurate than Duvvuri could hope to be. The Flex Robotic System is so easy to use, Duvvuri said even medical students can learn to use it with proficiency within three tries. Duvvuri, director of head and neck surgery at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center (UPMC), said the Flex Robotic System surgical robot he’s been using has sub-millimeter accuracy; it can “snake” its way to any place in the body and it causes less damage to soft tissue.”
