Surgeries involving malfunctioning robots have led to the death of more than a hundred patients in the past 14 years, according to an analysis of health records from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
In a study featured in the servers of arXiv, a team of researchers from the Rush University Medical Center, the University of Illinois and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) examined data of robotic surgeries collected from the records of the USFDA, known as the Manufacturer and User Facility Device Experience (MAUDE).
