Surgeons perform AF’s first robotic surgery

Maj. Lauren Buck, an 81st Surgical Operations Squadron general surgeon, operates using the da Vinci Xi during a ventral hernia repair surgery March 28, 2017, at Keesler Air Force Base, Miss. The da Vinci Xi robot system, which cost approximately $2 million, translates the surgeon’s hand motions into smaller more precise movements. The robot’s tiny instruments create more internal space inside the patient’s body during the operation. (U.S. Air Force photo/ Senior Airman Jenay Randolph)
