2. What is Robotic surgery
• Robotic surgery is a method to perform surgery using
very small tools attached to a robotic arm. The surgeon
controls the robotic arm with a computer.
• Robotic or Robot-assisted surgery
integrates advanced computer
technology with the experience
of the skilled surgeons.
• This technology provides the surgeon with a 10x
magnified, high-definition, 3D-image of the body's
intricate anatomy.
3. • The surgeon uses controls in the console to
manipulate special surgical instruments that are
smaller, as well as more flexible and maneuverable
than the human hand.
• The robot replicates the surgeon's hand movements,
while minimizing hand tremors.
• The surgeon thus can operate with enhanced
precision, dexterity and control even during the most
complex procedures.
4. CLASSIFICATION
• Not all surgical robots are equal. There are
three different kinds of robotic surgery
systems:
Supervisory-controlled systems
Tele surgical systems
Shared-control systems
5. Before the Procedure
You cannot have any food or fluid for 8 hours before
the surgery.You may need to cleanse your
bowels with an enema
or laxative the day before
surgery for some types of
procedures.Stop taking aspirin, blood thinners such as
warfarin (Coumadin) or Plavix, anti-inflammatory
medicines, vitamins, or other supplements 10 days
before the procedure.
6. After the Procedure
You will be taken to a recovery room after the
procedure. Depending on the type of surgery
performed, you may have to
stay in the hospital overnight
or for a couple of days. You
should be able to walk within
a day after the procedure. How soon you are active
will depend on the surgery that was done.Avoid heavy
lifting or straining until your doctor gives you the OK.
Your doctor may tell you not to drive for at least a
week.
7. APPLICATIONS
• Cardiac surgery
• Gastrointestinal surgery
• Gynecology
• Neurosurgery
• Orthopedics
• Pediatrics
• Radio surgery
• Urology
8. THE DA VINCI SURGICAL SYSTEM
• The basis of the dexterity experienced in open
surgery relies on the almost unlimited wrist, elbow
and shoulder’s degree of freedom.
• The surgeon has to move around
these fixed ports. In order to solve
these limitations tools have been
developed that have an articulation
at the tip, which increases the degrees of freedom.
• Addition of the wrist at the tip of the instrument
gives tool manipulation much more complex.
9. ZEUS ROBOTIC SURGICAL SYSTEM
• The ZEUS Surgical System is made up of an
ergonomic surgeon control console and three
table-mounted robotic arms, which perform
surgical tasks and provide visualization during
endoscopic surgery.
10. AESOP ROBOTIC SURGICAL SYSTEM
• The AESOP system employs the assistance of the
Automated Endoscopic System for optical
position. AESOP was the first robot to be cleared
by FDA for assisting surgery in the operating
room.
11. ADVANTAGES
Post-Surgery
Less scarring
Faster recovery time
Tiny incisions
0% Transfusion rate
Shorter catheter time 5 vs. 14 days
Immediate urinary control
Significantly shorter return to normal activities ( 1-2 weeks )
Equal Cancer Cure Rate
Less post operative pain
12. In-Surgery
• Surgeons have enhanced view
• Easier to attach nerve endings
• Surgeons tire less easily
• Fewer doctors required in operating rooms
• In turn, cheaper for hospitals.
• Smaller risk of infection
• Less anesthesia required
• Less loss of blood
14. Conclusions
• The rate of discovery of new technology is outpacing
the ability of business, society, and healthcare to
integrate and apply
• Robotic surgery is but one example of such
technology that MAY reduce operative morbidity,
hospital stay, and recovery, while POTENTIALLY
improving clinical outcomes, but at what point do
the BENEFITS justify the increased EXPENSE?
