Robotic science as we know it has consistently enjoyed a high level of research activity and technological advancement. Recently, researchers have found a way to operate previously inaccessible areas of the head and neck with the help of a robot.

This study was developed by Dr. Abie Mendelsohn, of UCLA Jonsson Comprehensice Cancer Centre member and director of head and neck robotic surgery at UCLA.

This research comes at a very crucial time as it helps cancer patients who seem to have little or no hope of survival.
