Robotic Surgery: The da Vinci System Alex Gallagher
Lisa Swanson Total knee replacement Traditional vs. Robotic Surgery Researched her options Weighed the pros and cons
Background Emerging technology (2000) Laparoscopic surgery Overcome limitations of traditional surgical methods Surgeon Control http://www.intuitivesurgical.com/products/davi nci_surgical_system/
Technology & Design Comfortably designed work console for physician Patient side-cart Four interactive robotic arms High-definition 3D vision system EndoWrist instruments
Advantages Minimally invasive Less scarring Faster recovery Less pain More precise surgical movements Dexterity Improved Visualization Advanced hand-eye coordination http://www.davincisurgery.com/
Disadvantages Expensive Inefficient Undergoing Testing Reliable? Traditional Surgery da Vinci Robot Major Advantage On-spot decision making Improved depth-perception, dexterity, and instrument articulation Operation Time Can be much quicker Generally long Cost More Inexpensive Expensive Major Disadvantage Obscured vision into the body Lack tactile feedback Invasiveness Large Minimal Patient Recovery Time Generally Longer Generally Shorter Error Human Machine/Robot Expensive Inefficient Undergoing Testing Reliable? Disadvantages
