WHAT IS A ROBOT?
Machine that resembles a human and
does mechanical, routine tasks on
command
Any mechanical device that operates
automatically with human-like skill
“A robot is not a machine….it is an
information system with arms”
Definition
Robotic surgery or Robot Assisted
Surgery allows many complex procedure
with more precision, flexibility and control
than standard procedures
Preamble
✤ Robotic surgery is usually associated with minimal access surgery with
small multiple incision to access the abdomen or chest. It is also used in
open surgery.
✤ The common surgical robots involve the use of a camera arm and one or
many arms for doing the operation. The surgeon sits at the console by the
side and the operating assistant surgeon sits next to the patient to help out
with the actual robotic arms which are basically controlled from the console.
EARLY ROBOTS
The ethos behind robotics in surgery
✤ Better vision with larger flexibility and more control is exercised by the
surgeon
✤ Delicate or impossible manoeuvres by the ordinary means can be
performed by the surgeon assisted by robots.
✤ Robotic surgery make the MAS very doable.
✤ Advantages of MAS include tiny incisions, less pain, easy recovery and
early return to normal activity. There is less hospital stay and hence less
costs
IS IT FOR EVERYONE?
✤ Robotic surgery is not for everyone.
✤ It is available only in some centres in the country.
✤ Some surgeries do not require robotics and hence a choice has to be made
in conjunction with a robotic surgeon
ROBOTIC UROLOGY
✤ Urologists led the way in robotics.
✤ Robotics Radical Prostatectomy preferable over conventional lap surgery
✤ Robotic pyeloplasty
✤ Robotic kindney operations are becoming more popular - transplants
✤ Robotic removal of cancerous lesions from single kidney patient.
ROBOTIC GYNECOLOGY
✤ Robotic Wetheim’s hysterectomies
✤ Robotic sutured myomectomies
✤ Robotic tuboplastics
✤ Robotic retroperitoneal lymphadenectomy
ROBOTIC GENERAL SURGERY
✤ Robotic cholecystectomy
✤ Robotic groin hernia repair
✤ Robotic fundo-location
✤ Robotic spleen preserving - pancreatectomy

ROBOTIC COLORECTAL SURGERY
✤ Robotic colectomies with intracorporeal anastomosis
✤ Robotic pouch surgery for Ulcerative Colitis
ADVANTAGES OF ROBOTIC SURGERY
✤ Vision is better with 3D depth perception
✤ Suturing at anastomosis is far better
✤ Collateral damage to surround organs is less
✤ So recovery is faster
✤ Bleeding is less
✤ Less sepsis due to minimal incisions or Single incision robotic surgery
ROBOTIC WRIST WITH 6 DEGREES OF FREEDOM
Advantages of Robotic Surgery
✤ Less pain as incisions are small
✤ Blood loss is minimal
✤ Surgeon vision and access are better with good ergonomics
Advantages of Robotic Surgery (conted.)
✤ Less stay in hospital
✤ Complications are less
✤ Early return to normal activity
ADVANTAGES FOR THE PATIENT
✤ More precise surgical work
✤ Less pain
✤ Fewer complications
✤ Less hospital stay
✤ Shorter recovery
ADVANTAGES FOR THE SURGEON
✤ 3D Vision gives surgeon the depth and better vision
✤ No tremors
✤ Better ergonomics with better sitting comforts
✤ Hence better dexterity of movements with augmented instruments
✤ Better access to the interior
✤ Can do complicated operations using robot
DISADVANTAGES
Human presence
Fault consequence
Time
Cost
Efficiency &Compatibility
SUMMARY
✤ Robotic Surgery AKA Robot assisted surgery allows for more precision,
better control by the surgeon where the patient has less pain, minimal scar,
early return to normal work.
✤ Win win opportunity to everyone
FUTURE
There is always a future of new technology in the developing world
