Tesla founder Elon Musk has predicted that robots will soon surpass human surgeons, a claim that many doctors have challenged. Musk claimed that robots will surpass good human surgeons within a few years and the best human surgeons within ~5 years. A report from RTTNews highlighted Medtronic's Hugo robotic system's positive outcomes in 137 real surgeries, with low complications rates and a 98.5% success rate. However, many doctors refute Musk's prediction, claiming that no 'robot' surgeon can autonomously perform brain and spine surgery.
