What does Robotic surgery mean? • Conventional Laparoscopy • Surgeon using laparoscopes • Operates while standing • Using hand-held, long-shafted instruments, which have no wrists. • Use a 2D video monitor to see an image of the target anatomy. • Modification of the surgical procedure (Robotics) • providing surgeons with superior visualization • enhanced dexterity • greater accuracy and ergonomic comfort • Better outcome of some major surgeries
Da Vinci vs. Zeus (two Robotic systems by Intuitive Surgical, Inc) • Zeus system in 1997 • Da Vinci named after Leonardo da Vinci 1998 • Da Vinci system progressed well and is now one the most used system in the world • Zeus failed by 2003 and is now replaced by Computer Motion
Questions to study! • Why did Zeus fail and Da Vinci survive? • Will this innovative medical technology revolutionize the world of surgery? • Why are some surgeons in big hospitals like MGH reluctant to using this technology at this day and age? • Are the companies (e.g. intuitive surgical) benefitting with this medical technology? • What does the future hold for such technologies?
