Is robotic surgery a solution for the high demand of nurses and doctors in the USA?

Over the next few years, robots will continue to gain popularity as an extension for surgeons, and this will likely have the effect of reducing morbidity and mortality during and after surgery. It isn't improbable that simple procedures will be streamlined and conducted by autonomous robotic surgeons in a decade or so, thus reducing the need for human input and eroding demand for human medical personnel in general. Robots of this form represent a viable solution for large medical centres, and due to the fact that they're far less expensive to maintain than people, total operating costs will decline.
