INTRODUCION
Discover the Future of Surgery
Robotic surgery is changing the game. With cutting-edge technology,
it allows for safer, more precise procedures, and faster recovery
times. In this presentation, we’ll explore how this innovation is
transforming healthcare.
Types of Robotic Surgery Systems
01 Da Vinci Surgical System: The Da Vinci system is a game-changer in surgery.
Surgeons control robotic arms with incredible precision, allowing for minimally
invasive procedures with a 3D, high-definition view. It’s the most popular
robotic system worldwide.
02 Other Key Systems
•MAKO: Specializes in joint replacements, ensuring precise cuts and perfect
implant placement.
•CyberKnife: Non-invasive cancer treatment with pinpoint accuracy, targeting
tumors while sparing healthy tissue.
•ExcelsiusGPS: Guides spinal surgeries with extreme precision, reducing risks
and enhancing outcomes.
Advantages of Robotic Surgery
1.Precision
Robotic systems offer unmatched precision, allowing
surgeons to perform complex procedures with greater
accuracy than ever before.
2.Minimally Invasive
Smaller incisions mean less pain, reduced scarring, and a
lower risk of complications, making surgeries less invasive
for patients.
3.Faster Recovery Times
Patients typically experience quicker recovery, getting
back to their normal lives faster with less downtime.
Applications in
Medicine
1.General Surgery: Performs a wide range of
procedures with enhanced precision and reduced
recovery times.
2.Cardiac Surgery: Enables intricate heart surgeries
with high accuracy, improving outcomes and
safety.
3.Orthopedic Surgery: Assists in joint replacements
and spine surgeries, ensuring precise alignment
and minimal invasiveness.
4.Gynecology: Facilitates complex procedures such
as hysterectomies and fertility treatments with
minimal disruption and quick recovery.
