COLUMBUS, Ohio—The heart operation taking place in the pale-green operating room at the Ohio State University Medical Center was unusual . The patient , a 62-year-old man , was made to sleep , tied with the blue drapes (消毒帷帘) and lying face up on a narrow table . But no one was touching him .
Instead , the operation was being performed by a robot , whose three metal arms went through pencil-sized holes in the man’s chest . At the ends of the robot’s arms were tiny metal fingers , with turning wrists ,which held a tiny instrument , a light and a camera . The robot’s arms and fingers were controlled by Dr. Randall K . Wolf , sitting at a computer in a corner of the operating room about 20 feet away .
This sort of operation , heart surgeons say , is the start of what may be the biggest change in their profession since heart bypass surgery (心脏搭桥手术) began nearly 30 years ago , “The reason we make cuts is that we have big hands,” said Dr. Wolf , the director of the surgery at Ohio State . The robot’s dainty fingers , no longer than a nail on the small finger , at the end of the long sticks could work better .
Eventually , surgeons believe , most heart surgery will be done by robots whose arms are put in through pencil-sized holes punched in patients’ chests , Instead of directly staring into a patient’s body , surgeons will view magnified images of the operation on computer screens . In theory , the doctor would not have to be in the same room, or even the same country , as the patient .
