They also occasionally train surgeons how to use these things with raw chicken breasts.
I work in an operating room and we have two da Vinci robots that do a lot of general and obgyn cases.
Edit: typo.

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
