Objectives To inform viewers of the uses of Robotics in Surgery and the increasing use of the trend To better understand the hardware and software used in the Da. Vinci Surgical System To understand the software and hardware used in the surgical system along with the usability of the product To understand how the Nurse is involved in robotic surgery To inform about the advantages and disadvantages To better understand the Ethical and Legal issues involved
Robotics Robots do not actually replace humans, they improve their ability to operate through small incisions that are being made Computer assisted surgeries are used in neurosurgery, orthopedics, urology, and cardiology (Au, 2009) / http: //www. core. form-ula. com/2009/03/16/da-vinci-surgical-system
Robotics and Surgery Computer Assisted Surgery n n Image guided surgery Offers a way of viewing the different tissues while performing surgery Robotic surgery: n n Requires a surgical robot Surgeon may or may not have a direct role (Au, 2009)
Nursing Role Robotics nurse specialist n New role created for perioperative to create positive team and patient outcome n Nurse trained to make observations and bring concerns to the appropriate staff member to be resolved n Ensures instrument care n Assists intraoperatively (Francis, 2006)
Hardware Da. Vinci Surgical System Endowrist Instruments
Hardware Davinci Surgical System n n n Ergonomic surgeons console 4 Interactive robotic arms High performance vision system Endowrist Instruments n n n Provide maximum responsiveness Wrist-like movements User-friendly http: //www. core. form-ula. com/2009/03/16/da-vincisurgical-system/
