Robotics can be used in medical procedures to increase surgical accuracy and decrease operating times. The first documented use of a robot in surgery was in 1985 using the PUMA 560 robotic arm to assist with a delicate neurosurgery. Since then, robots have been used in minimally invasive laparoscopic surgeries. Medical robotics is important as it can reduce patient discomfort and costs, improve access to care, shorten procedures, and allow non-specialists to perform complex surgeries. Popular medical robot systems include the Da Vinci Surgical System for laparoscopy and Intuitive Surgical's tissue engineering robots. While automation may replace some human roles in the operating room, it also has potential for long-term cost

4. For the surgeon,
the computer-
enhanced
technology and
robotic precision
ensure a level of
surgical precision
never before
possible.

5. Robotics can be used in a variety of
clinical and surgical settings,
increasing surgical accuracy,
decreasing operating times and
often creating better health care
outcomes than standard current
approaches.

6. The first documented
use of a robot-assisted
surgical procedure
occurred in 1985.
PUMA 560 robotic
surgical arm was used
successfully in a
delicate neurosurgical
biopsy, a non-
laparoscopic surgery.

7. o The robotic system allowed the potential
for greater precision when used in
minimally invasive surgeries, such as
laparoscopies which typically utilize
flexible fiber optic cameras.
o The 1985 procedure lead to the first
laparoscopic procedure involving a robotic
system.
o The following year the same PUMA
system was used to perform a
transurethral resection.
o In 1990 the AESOP system produced by
Computer Motion became the first system
approved by the Food and Drug
Administration (FDA) for its endoscopic
surgical procedure.

9. Why Medical
Robotics Is so
Important?
1. Reduced post-operative
discomfort
2. Reduced Costs
3. Improved access to quality
medical care
4. Shorter length procedures
5. Blur the boundary between
specialist and surgeon

13. Long term cost
savings over human
1. Current operating rooms require numerous surgeons,
nurses, and even an anesthesiologist
2. With the automation the robotic surgery brings about,
many of these people can be eliminated from the
operating room.

14. 3.This plays a vital role in lowering the cost of
healthcare.
4.Will greatly increase precision and even reduce
trauma throughout the surgery process allowing quick
recovery and patient care quality.
5. Robotic systems are able to filter out any shaky
movements preventing errors and keeping good
quality of service

15. When most people
think about robotics,
they think about
automation. The
possibility of
automating some
tasks is both exciting
and controversial.

16. The possibilities
for improvement
and advancement
are only limited
by imagination
and cost.
