3. INTRODUCTION
Robotic surgery is a type of minimally invasive
surgery. “Minimally invasive” means that instead of
operating on patients through large incisions, we
use miniaturized surgical instruments that fit
through a series of quarter-inch incisions.
The main object of such smart instruments is to
reduce or eliminate the tissue trauma traditionally
associated with open surgery without requiring
more than a few minutes' training on the part of
surgeons.

5. Why Robots?
• A robot is not a machine . . .
–it is an information system with arms
– The robots are actually a more accurate then Human
beings

7. Surgical Robot- “Da vinci”
• Da vinci is the one of the most advancd
Surgical bot in the world.
• Da vinci’s miniaturized instruments are
mounted on three separate robotic arms,
allowing the surgeon maximum range of
motion and precision. The da Vinci’s fourth
arm contains a magnified high-definition 3-D
camera that guides the surgeon during the
procedure.
13. Da Vinci System
• Multiple robotic arms
– For camera control and
end effector control
Stereo endoscope
Tools at arms of bot
14. The Endoscope
• Fiber optic instrument
• Inserted through a small incision
• Has a very tiny video camera
• Shows the surgeon a 3-dimensional,
magnified view
• Projects to a television screen
15. Speciality of Da vinci
The surgeon controls these instruments and the camera from
a console located in the operating room. Placing his fingers
into the master controls, he is able to operateall four arms of
the da Vinci simultaneously while looking through a
stereoscopic high-definition monitor that literally places him
inside the patient, giving him a better, more detailed 3-D view
of the operating site than the human eye can provide
16. Lets See the Working of Da vinci and how gently
it works and how it use by Surgeon .
Now we see Da vinci used for peeling the grape
17. Benefits of Robotic Surgery
• Operations through small incisions
• Reduce loss of healthy tissue
• Less pain, shorter hospital stay
• Reduced cost
• Patient returns to work sooner
• Greater surgical precision
• Less blood loss and transfusion.
18. Legal/Ethical issue in Robotic surgery
• Time lag between surgeons commands and
action of robot could harm the patient
• Loss of power in an electrical failure
• Robotics does not replace human intelligence,
skill and experience
• Surgericals Robots are much
costlier
• Da vinic’s cost is 2.5 million euro.
19. Conclusion
• The rate of discovery of new technology is
outpacing the ability of business, society, and
healthcare to integrate and apply
• Robotic surgery is but one example of such
technology that MAY reduce operative
morbidity, hospital stay, and recovery, while
POTENTIALLY improving clinical outcomes, but
at what point do the BENEFITS justify the
increased EXPENSE?
