This kind of operation is known as robots operation.Doctor Marescaux did the operation in an office in New York City last month, while a sixty-eight-year-old woman patient was in a hospital in Strasbourg, France.A doctor in Strasbourg got the patient ready. He placed medical tools and a small video camera in her stomach (腹部). Doctor Marescaux in New York City watched the patient in a video screen. Then he used the computer to send messages to the robot machine.The robot moved the tools that cut the woman’s gallbladder (胆囊) away. The woman got well soon after the operation and left the hospital two days later.Experts say the main problem with such a robotic operation is based on high-speed telecommunications (通讯系统) between the doctor and the robot. Technology must be able to send a doctor’s order to a robot to move the tool quickly.Experts also say a successful robotic operation will improve an operation. For example, the robot can make much smaller movement than a person can. A robot machine can turn tools in ways that a doctor’s hand cannot.Doctor say such a robotic operation will make safer and better operations possible in the future. They say it will improve doctor training. It’ll also mean that doctors could do an operation on people in dangerous places far away.

The robot is used to watch the patient clearly.(C)There are some easy things you can do to protect the environment and the earth.
