Four-limbed robot for surgery

Mount Elizabeth Hospital has paid S$2.5 million for the first four-armed robotic surgery machine in Singapore. It is the first private hospital to use the four-limbed robot.

It looks more like a Hollywood science fiction prop, but the robotic machine, code-named Da Vinci, has performed 24 real-life operations since November.

Doctors like to think of it as an extension of their own arms. Surgeons now have two extra limbs: one to hold a camera with 10 times magnification and the other to act as an assistant's arm.
