  1. Robotic Surgery Shawn Volpe

  2. Types of Robotic Surgery • Tele-surgical system • Surgeon preforms remote surgery from anywhere in the world that controls a robot. • Shared-control system. • 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.

  3. 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 3D images of area. • Surgeon moves devices to control robotic arms that make precise movements. • In May 1998, Dr. Friedrich-Wilhelm Mohr using the da Vinci Surgical System performed the first robotically assisted heart bypass in Germany.

  4. 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.

  5. 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 patented Endowrists.

  6. 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 • Pyeloplasty (surgery to correct ureteropelvic junction obstruction) • Pyloroplasty • Radical prostatectomy • Tubal ligation

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

  8. Future Direction • The more technology equals less human involvement. • Main goal is completely removing human error. • Fully computerized and pre-calculated surgeries. More Supervisory controlled systems. • Trust in computers and technology is a true limitation.
