Robotic surgery is on the rise as doctors look to make procedures less invasive, but according to a new study, the strategy comes with risks.

Looking at more than 10,000 incident reports from the FDA spanning from 2000 to 2013, researchers found that robots were involved in 144 patient deaths and 1,391 patient injuries.

For most of the reports involving death, very little information was shared on why the patient died — meaning it’s difficult to say whether it was human error, a problem with the robot, or the risks inherent in surgery.
