Anne Eisenberg begins her article
with two sentences that compare the difference in surgical technology that
today allows for a “minimally invasive” surgical procedure. She then uses “but”
to point out that even this type of procedure requires that a couple of cuts
are made in order to complete a surgery. Eisenberg now brings up the focus of
her article, which is robotic surgical system named “Single-Site” that was
designed to leave only a single scar. She quotes Dr. Michael Hsieh on his
opinion of the innovation and clearly states his credentials hoping to
establish her own credibility. Eisenberg then moves on to address a doctor who
has already used the “Single-Site” during surgical procedures. He praises it
and with this approval Eisenberg is able to advance in her article to another
surgical robotic technology that is still in the process of being developed.
This surgical system can enter the body through an even smaller incision,
leaving an even smaller scar and allowing the body to heal faster. Throughout
the article Eisenberg stresses the benefits of the robotic systems but at the
end she ties it to the point that they are extremely expensive. She uses an associate professor’s
opinion to suggest that it will be a while before the expensive system will be
appreciated for all that it is worth.
