The National Health Society announced that in an effort to cut waiting times, it plans to support half a million robotic operations every year. NHS also predicts that within the next 10 years, 9 in 10 of all keyhole surgeries, such as the removal of certain organs affected by cancer, will be delivered with robot assistance. The NHS also expects to see increasing numbers of emergency operations using the technology, which can be more precise than human led operations. Overall, the implementation of robotic surgeries is set to benefit millions of patients in England.
