2. Introduction
oWhat is surgery?
The treatment of injuries or
disorders of the body by incisions or
manipulation, especially with
instruments.
oWhy robotic surgery?
Existing surgery has many flaws like
limited access to surgical area, long
recovery time, long hours of operation,
blood loss, surgical scars and marks.
3. History
o In 1985 a robot, PUMA 560 was used to place a
needle for a brain biopsy using CT(computed
tomography) guidance.
o In 1988,the PROBOT developed at imperial college
London.
o The ROBODOC from integrated surgical systems
was introduced in 1992 for hip replacement.
o The first unmanned robotic surgery took place in
may 2006,Italy
7. Mechanism involved
in robotic surgery
1. Direct Telemanipulator
2. Computer control
Famous robotic
surgery equipment
1. Da Vinci robot
2. ZEUS robotic surgical system
3. AESOP robotic system
9. Different elements of
Da Vinci robot
• Surgeon console
• Patient side-cart
• Endo wrist instruments
10. • Enhanced ergonomics
1. The da Vinci Surgical System feel comfortable
and natural.
• Vision system
1. High-definition, 3D endoscope and image
processing equipment that provides true-to-life images of
the patient's anatomy.
2. A view of the operating field is available to the
entire OR team on a large viewing monitor.
• Magnified 3D HD Vision
1. Highly-magnified 3D HD Vision ensures that
surgeons can see the surgical site with true depth
perception and crystal-clear vision.
14. Applications
• Cardiac surgery
• Gastrointestinal surgery
• Gynecology
• Neuro surgery
• Orthopedics
• Pediatrics
• Radio surgery
• Urology
15. Drawbacks
• Cost of the equipment is very high, it is about
1,390,000 dollars.
• Surgeons has to spend several man hours to learn
about the Robotic system.
• During training periods , surgery may take even
long hours than a normal surgery, which may also
lead to use of longer anesthesia periods.
20. Conclusion
• Robotic surgery is one of the precise
engineering technology in medicine
which is under polished stage and also
require some time to settle in the real
world scenario.
