Types of Robotic Surgery • Tele-surgical system • • Shared-control system. • • Surgeon preforms remote surgery from anywhere in the world that controls a robot. Surgeon tells the computer what task to complete and the robot will carry out the task on its own. Supervisory-controlled • Procedure solely done by the computer from a predetermined plan.

What is Robotic Surgery • • Done under anesthesia. Extremely small incisions or holes are made. One for the entrance of the endoscope. Endoscope outputs highly magnified 3 D images of area. Surgeon moves devices to control robotic arms that make precise

Advantages • • Much smaller incisions-1 cm diameter. • Quicker recovery period • Minimal scaring. • Less chance for infections Movements can be smaller and more precise. • • No hand tremors Surgeon comfort • Surgeon can sit in a comfortable room without disease.

Da Vinci • • The first and only commercial robotic surgery machine. (Tele. Surgical System) Consists of… • • • 4 interactive robotic arms. A Console for the surgeon to work from. Endowrist joystick like control module. State of the art vision system. Robotic arms operate in real time as the surgeon moves the

Current Applications • • Coronary artery bypass Cutting away cancer tissue from sensitive parts of the body such as blood vessels, nerves, or important body organs • Gallbladder removal • Hip replacement • Hysterectomy • Kidney removal • Kidney transplant • Mitral valve repair

Small space Easier Cheaper Flexible Accuracy Preformed toand train and anywhere adaptable required precise and create movements Robotic Surgery Stable and Untiring Human Surgery

Future Direction • • • The more technology equals less human involvement. Main goal is completely removing human error. Fully computerized and precalculated surgeries. More Supervisory controlled systems.
