An unusual heart operation was taking place in the pale-green operating room at the Ohio State University Medical Center. The patient, a 62-year-old man was made to sleep.. No one was operating on him. Instead, he was operated on by a robot. The robot's three metal arms went through pencil-sized holes in the man’s chest. At the ends of the robot’s arms were small metal fingers, with turning wrists. In its hands there was a small tool, a light and a camera. The robot’s arms and fingers were controlled by Dr. Randall K. Wolf, Who was sitting at a computer in a corner of the operating room about 20 feet away. The doctors say, this kind of operation , is the start of what may be the biggest change in their profession since such operation began nearly 30 years ago. “We have big hands, so most operations need large cuts.” said Dr. Wolf, the director of the operation at Ohio State . The robot’s thin fingers was no longer than a small nail, so it could work better .At last, the doctor say, most heart operation will be done by robots. Their arms are put in through pencil-sized holes in patients’ chests. The doctor will see the pictures of the operation on computer screens. The doctor would not have to be in the same room, or even the same country, as the patient.

. I have underlined some problem areas:An unusual heart operation was taking place in the pale-green operating room at the Ohio State University Medical Center. The patient, a 62-year-old man was made to sleep.. No one was operating on him. Instead, he was operated on by a robot. The robot's three metal arms went through pencil-sized holes in the man’s chest. At the ends of the robot’s arms were small metal fingers, with turning wrists.
