The injuries, many of them fatal, were the result of broken instruments falling into patients’ bodies, electric sparks burning patients’ tissues, and system errors making surgical procedures take longer than planned.

There have even been reports of a robotic hand that wouldn’t let go of tissue grasped during surgery, and a robotic arm smacking a patient in the face as she lay on the operating table.

The study, conducted by researchers at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Chicago’s Rush University Medical Center, states:
