ROBOTIC SURGERY

WHAT MAKES ROBOTIC SURGERY SO POWERFUL? In Laparoscopic surgery instruments are inserted through small incisions. In Laparoscopic surgery instruments are inserted through small incisions. Laparoscopic instruments are mainly limited to scissors and staplers to close incisions or attach blood vessels. Laparoscopic instruments are mainly limited to scissors and staplers to close incisions or attach blood vessels. Instruments enter the body through a long tube; a video image from a tiny camera called an endoscope poked through another incision guides the surgeon.

WHAT MAKES ROBOTIC SURGERY SO POWERFUL? Cannot perform complicated tasks like suturing and knot tying. Cannot perform complicated tasks like suturing and knot tying. Because of these limitations, most operations can’t be performed endoscopically. Because of these limitations, most operations can’t be performed endoscopically. Robotic surgery uses laparoscopic tools, including miniature robotic hands with the dexterity to tie knots.

WHAT MAKES ROBOTIC SURGERY SO POWERFUL? The Robotic surgical system consists of a pencil- size joystick (one each for the surgeon’s right and left hands), a computer, and right-hand and left-hand end effectors, the robotic instruments that snake into the body to perform the actual surgery. The Robotic surgical system consists of a pencil- size joystick (one each for the surgeon’s right and left hands), a computer, and right-hand and left-hand end effectors, the robotic instruments that snake into the body to perform the actual surgery. It has four joints that rotate, swivel, and swing back and forth and a grasper at the end. As a result: A finger that functions like an entire hand is formed.

STEPS INVOLVED IN CONDUCTING SURGERY 1.Data acquisition and subsequent planning In the pre-operative phase, a patient dependent model of the rigid and de-formable anatomical entities involved in the surgical act have to be built. In the pre-operative phase, a patient dependent model of the rigid and de-formable anatomical entities involved in the surgical act have to be built. The mechanical model of the robotic system is fused in an overall geometric model. The mechanical model of the robotic system is fused in an overall geometric model.
