Robotic Surgery Student Watch “Taking surgery beyond the limits of the human hand”™ Stuart Graham RN Robotic Surgery Coordinator

Evolution of Surgery –Open surgery: mid-19 th Century –Minimally invasive surgery: Began in late 1980’s (Laparoscopic Surgery) –Computer Assisted (Robotic) surgery with da Vinci: 1999

1987 Advantages of Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS) –Faster recovery –Shorter hospital stay –Quicker return to work –Less postoperative pain –Better cosmesis –Patient Expectation

Minimally Invasive Surgery Access Open Surgical Incision da Vinci ™ Prostatectomy Incision

Laparoscopic Surgery Minimally invasive surgery Ability to operate through small keyhole incisions Camera and instruments fit through the keyhole incisions Better visualization than open surgery

Conventional Laparoscopic Surgery Drawbacks 2–D flat image video Rigid instruments - chopsticks Instruments controlled at a distance - fulcrum effect Decreases your surgeon’s precision, dexterity and control Higher surgeon fatigue Makes complex operations more difficult How can we overcome these drawbacks?

Robotic Freedom Of Movement

Surgical Benefits Improved vision with a true 3 dimensional view magnified up to 10x. Scaled surgeon movement. Ratios vary from 1:1, 3:1 and 5:1. This allows for very fine work and offers great benefits in pediatric laparoscopic surgery. Improved surgical dexterity with wristed instruments allows for 6 degrees of surgical freedom rather than the 4 in traditional laparoscopic surgery. Improved surgeon comfort – Surgeon seated at console during the majority of the surgery.
