Da-Vinci Surgical System

• It is designed to facilitate complex surgery
  using minimally invasive approach.
• The system is controlled by a surgeon from a
  console
• Enables surgeons to perform delicate and complex
  operations through a few tiny incisions with
  increased vision,
• precision, dexterity and control.

Overview

• It consists of a surgeons console that is
  typically in the same room as the patient and a
  patient-side cart with four interactive robotic
  arms controlled from the console
• Three of the arms are for tools that hold objects
  such as
• - Scalpel
• - Scissors
• - Bovie
• The fourth arm is for anendoscopic camera with
  two lenses that gives the surgeon
  full stereoscopic vision from the console.

Components of the da Vinci Surgical System

• Surgeon Console
• The surgeon operates seated comfortably at a
  console while viewing a high definition, 3D image
  inside the patients body.
• The surgeon's fingers grasp the master controls
  below the display with hands and wrists naturally
  positioned relative to his or her eyes.
• The system also translates the surgeon's hand,
  wrist and finger movements into precise,
  real-time movements of surgical instruments.

Patient-side Cart

• The patient is positioned during the surgery
  includes either 3 or 4 robotics arms that carry
  out the surgeons commands.
• The robotic arms move around the fixed pivot
  points which reduces trauma to the patient,
  improves the cosmetic outcome and increases
  overall precision.
• The system also does repeated safety checks,
  which prevent any independent movement of the
  instruments or robotic arms.

Pros and Cons

• Pros
• Simpler procedure
• Minimally invasive
• Better technique
• Reduced bleeding
• Less painful
• Smaller scar
• Faster healing
• Decreased hospital stay

7
Cont

• Cons
• Longer learning period
• High cost of the equipment and thereby the
  procedure
• Reduction in space for assistants
• Lack of tactile sensation for the surgeon

8
Future

• Better ways of accomplishing delicate medical
  procedures
• Possibly for next generation medical robotics to
  conduct surgical prep work remotely
• Removing human contact during surgery
•  Reducing or eliminating infection
  intra-operatively
• Reduce the cost of maintenance
• Easy to operate
