Elon Musk has a debate online, saying that robots may be better than the world’s best surgeons in the next five years.

The CEO of Tesla and SpaceX made this prediction, responding to a post on X.

The Post highlighted the progression of robotic surgery, including the Hugo Robot of the American-Aylish Medical Device Company Medtronic, which recently showed a high success rate in surgery for prostate, kidney and bladder problems.

According to a report, the Hugo robot mentioned in Nawafal’s post was tested in 137 real -life surgery and was 98.5% success rate, above the expected 85%.

Musk pointed to his company, neurlink, which uses a robot to perform highly accurate brain surgery, he said he said that human hands are very complicated and delicate.

Musk wrote, “The robots will be within a few years within 5 years within good human surgeons and the best human surgeons.”

He said that neurlink robots were to be used as the work was very fast and accurate for a human surgeon.

Can it actually happen in five years?

Robotic surgery is a type of surgery where doctors use special machines with robot arms to help operate operations. Doctors control the robot using a computer, sitting behind a console.

It helps to create very small, careful movements, which can cause less pain, small cuts and rapid treatment for the patient.

US-based senior surgeon Dr. Shankar Adusumilli, who has done over 2,400 robot-assisted surgery, called his prediction “misleading” on Musk’s post.

He explained that robot systems are still equipment, not an independent doctor.

“The robot does not do surgery on its own. The surgeon is under control, using a console to guide the robot. The robot comes from the surgeon every step. I cannot give the robot to make a complex decision- because every patient is different,” he said.

He said that since no two patients are the same, it takes a person to take the right decision during complex surgery.

“Even the best autopylot requires a skilled human pilot – the same applies to surgery,” Dr. Edusumilli wrote.

The first indigenous surgical robot of India, the founder of SSI Mantra, Dr. According to Sudhir Srivastava, while Musk’s statement gave rise to an important conversation, the prophecy requires nuances.

He said that even though robotic systems are becoming indispensable tools in surgery, however, the statement ignores a fundamental truth that surgery is not only about accuracy.

“This is equally about real-time decision making, adaptability and patient-specific decision,” Dr. Srivastava told India Today Digital.

“Currently, and for the future of the future, robots remain devices that increase the capabilities of skilled surgeons. They do not take clinical decisions or are not compatible with the broader physical and physical variations present in every patient. Performed individually and takes care of thousands of robot surgery, I can attach that he can attach that he is a surgeon’s intimacy, expertity,”

Another US-based doctor, who goes under the name ‘McCallip’ according to his bio, said that robots cannot do surgery alone without human assistance.

“This is incorrect. As a neurosurgeon, I promise you that any ‘robot’ surgeon can not autonomally do brain and spinal surgery or any surgery effectively, properly or safely. A lot of variables require significant thinking,” the user said.

An orthopedic surgeon in the comment section, Dr. Steven Danier said that while robots are future, old technology will still be present. “Robots are to live here. But we still use fax machines and whiteboards, and we can’t see the X-ray done in the same city in the same city in real time,” Danier wrote.

Dr. of Brazil Francisco Cardoso stated that Tesla’s CEO prediction is correct, but only in part, stating that there are unexpected things during surgery and robots will not be able to make spontaneous decisions.

“… The surgeon needs to use creativity to solve problems, and that is the one that separates the best from the average. A robot is still away from this mastery of something that was not programmed to do,” Cardoso wrote.

A musk supporter said and said, “Think of life that can be saved with large -scale, high quality robot surgeons. It can reduce the cost of health care and help in places where doctors are low.”

Adding this, Dr. Srivastava agreed that surgeons bring sound decisions, robot-assisted surgery may change rural healthcare, especially telesurge, where doctors cannot reach distance places.

As technology continues to move, robotic surgery is becoming more normal in hospitals. But experts say that we are still away from a future where robots work on their own – without the help of skilled human hands.
