That's very interesting. I wonder which animal has the best resemblance to our bodies in order for surgeons to practice specific procedures.

The chicken breast was just to familiarize themselves with the machine more than anything. I walked into one of the ORs the other day and the Da Vinci rep was training a surgeon on the machine and they had a model tissue that resembled skin far better than a chicken breast.
When using a multi million dollar robot they typically don’t cut corners on training, I just happened to see the robot operating on a chicken breast that one day. Haha
