Research Paper (undergraduate) from the year 2012 in the subject Medicine - Biomedical Engineering, grade: 87.00, University of Nebraska at Omaha (Peter Kiewit Institute), course: Technical Writing, language: English, abstract: The subject of this report is an introduction to computer-assisted robotic surgery and telesurgery. The scope of this report includes information on the following major areas: the foundation of computer-assisted robotic surgery, the components of a computer-assisted robotic surgical system and the advantages and disadvantages of computer-assisted surgery and many more. The purpose of this report is to explore and describe the innovation of computer-assisted robotic surgery and telesurgery in medicine.
The foundation of computer-assisted robotic surgery is derived from laparoscopic surgery, a technique that uses multiple tiny incisions in the place of one large incision. Components of a surgical system include the surgeon¿s console, the patient-side cart, and the image-processing and insufflations stack. The robot is operated by the surgeon¿s console which has hand and foot controls that are used to operate the patient-side cart. The patient-side cart contains four robotic arms, all of which can be used to operate a surgical instrument, hold a camera used to view the operative site, or hold a retractor. The image-processing and insufflations stack contains a camera control unit, an image-recording device, an insufflator used to blow air or gas into a body cavity, and a monitor used by operating assistants.
