Robotic Surgery Devices

A surgical approach that involves the use of robotic systems to assist surgeons in performing procedures with enhanced precision, control, and often in a minimally invasive manner.

 

Robotic Surgical System:

A complex medical device that includes a console for the surgeon, robotic arms with surgical instruments, and a vision system, enabling remote-controlled or computer-assisted surgery.

 

Telepresence Surgery:

A form of robotic surgery that allows surgeons to perform procedures from a remote location using advanced robotic systems, often with real-time feedback and high-definition visuals.

 

Da Vinci Surgical System:

A widely used robotic surgical system that enables minimally invasive procedures with a console for the surgeon, robotic arms, and specialized instruments controlled by the surgeon.

 

Minimally Invasive Surgery:

Surgical procedures performed through small incisions using specialized instruments, often aided by robotic systems to minimize trauma, reduce recovery time, and enhance precision.

 

Endoscopic Surgery:

Surgical procedures that use a thin, flexible tube (endoscope) with a camera and light source to visualize and operate on internal structures, often integrated with robotic systems.

 

Articulated Instruments:

Surgical tools with movable joints that mimic the dexterity of the human hand, commonly used in robotic surgery to perform intricate movements with precision.

 

Surgical Console:

The command center where the surgeon sits during robotic surgery, controlling the robotic arms and instruments, while viewing a magnified, three-dimensional image of the surgical site.

 

Haptic Feedback:

The use of force or tactile sensation feedback to the surgeon’s hands, providing a sense of touch and pressure during robotic surgery, enhancing the surgeon’s control and precision.

 

Intuitive Surgical:

The company that developed the da Vinci Surgical System, a pioneer in the field of robotic surgery technology.

 

Single-Incision Robotic Surgery:

A technique where robotic instruments are inserted through a single incision, reducing the number of entry points and potentially enhancing cosmetic outcomes.

 

Robot-Assisted Laparoscopic Surgery:

A type of minimally invasive surgery where a robotic system aids the surgeon in performing procedures through small incisions using a laparoscope.
