inStrasbourg,France.A doctor in Strasbourg got the patient ready.He placed medical toolsand a small video camera in her stomach area（谓部）.Doctor Marescauxin New York watched the patient on a video screen.Then he used thecomputer to send messages to the robot machine.The robot moved the tools that cut the womans gallbladder（月 旦 囊）away.The woman got well soon after the operation and left the hospital twodays later.Experts say the main problem with such a robotic operation is based onhigh-speed telecommunications（通讯系统）between the doctor and therobot.Technology must be able to send a doctors order to a robot tomove the tool quickly.Experts also say a successful robotic operation will improve anoperation.For example,the robot can make such smaller movements（动作）than a person can.A robot machine can turn tools in ways that adoctors hand cannot.Doctors say such a robotic operation will make possible safer and betteroperations in the future.They say it will improve doctor
