The Cost
The Robots that perform the surgeries cost around $750,000 to over $1 million. This is because they use extremely sensitive and experimental equipment that costs a lot of money. In addition to the cost of the machines the training that is needed for surgeons to learn how to use the systems is also very expensive. Because of the extreme cost of the machines at this point in time the procedures are slightly more expensive than a regular operation, but it does have its advantages. Many people in the medical field however believe that these surgeries will soon become more common and less expensive.
