Surgical and Interventional Robotics Core Concepts, Technology, and Design
2000
Two decades after the first reported robotic surgical procedure , surgical robots are just beginning to be widely used in the operating room or interventional suite. The da Vinci telerobotic system (Intuitive Surgical, Inc.), for example, has recently become more widely employed for minimally invasive surgery . This article, the first in a three-part series, examines the core concepts underlying surgical and interventional robots, including the potential benefits and technical approaches, followed by a summary of the technical challenges in sensing, manipulation, user interfaces, and system design. The article concludes with a review of key design aspects, particularly in the areas of risk analysis and safety design. Note that medical care can be delivered in a surgical suite (operating room) or an interventional suite, but for convenience, we will henceforth use the term surgical to refer to both the surgical and interventional domains.
The extent to which surgical robots will be used in the next 20 years
The extent to which surgical robots will be used in the next 20 years, 2021
One of the fastest growing sectors in the medical devices industry is medical robotics, and within the realm of medical robotics it is robotic surgery that is spurring public interest, as well as concern. By drawing on the extant body of literature, this paper explores the emergent role of robots in surgery and examines their merits and drawbacks in traditional settings as well as in extreme environments where surgeons must work remotely. The subject of artificial intelligence (AI) and autonomous surgical robots will also be discussed. Although it is difficult to predict with precision to what extent surgical robots will be used in the next 20 years, certain possibilities are more probable than others.
State of the art in surgical robotics: Clinical applications and technology challenges
Computer Aided Surgery, 2001
Although it has been over 15 years since the first recorded use of a robot for a surgical procedure, the field of medical robotics is still an emerging one that has not yet reached a critical mass. Although robots have the potential to improve the precision and capabilities of physicians, the number of robots in clinical use is still very small. In this review article, we begin with a short historical review of medical robotics, followed by an overview of clinical applications where robots have been applied. The clinical applications are then discussed; they include neurosurgery, orthopedics, urology, madlofacial surgery, radiosurgery, ophthalmology, and cardiac surgery. We conclude with a listing of technology challenges and research areas, including system architecture, software design, mechanical design, imaging compatible systems, user interface, and safety issues.
The Journey of Robotic Surgery: Past, Present and Future
2011
Robot technology has forayed into the surgical procedures like thoracic, abdominal, pelvic and neurological. The technology offers potential advantages by enabling more precise surgery which may lead to shorter patient recovery times, fewer complications and improved patient outcomes. Robots augment the surgeon's motor performance, diagnosis capability, haptic sensation and augmented reality (sight). Robots boost surgeon's surgical skills by filtering tremor and scaling motions, besides automating certain routine tasks to make the surgeon free to focus on higher level tasks.
Surgical Robotics and Computer-Integrated Interventional Medicine [Scanning the Issue]
Proceedings of the IEEE, 2022
Ever since their first introduction in the late 1980s [1], [2], surgical robots have played an increasingly prominent role in medical practice [3], [4]. For example, a recent study [5] found that over 15% of all general surgery procedures in 2020 were performed robotically, compared to only 1.8% in 2012. The current worldwide robotic surgery market is estimated to be 5.3billionandisexpectedtoreach5.3 billion and is expected to reach 5.3billionandisexpectedtoreach19 billion by 2027, with a compound annual growth rate over 21% [6]. These trends have been driven by the increasingly effective partnership comprising human physicians, technology, and information to improve the safety, efficacy, and cost-effectiveness of surgical interventions (Fig. 1).

This article has discussed the utility of surgical robots in minimally invasive surgery. Nowadays surgical robot is one of the biggest innovations that are able to do surgery in a sophisticated manner. Maximum hospitals and doctors try to provide these facilities to their patients. Accordingly, this process has the capability to do subtle surgery on the human body. It is true that doctor has certain boundaries to doing surgical procedures on the human body. Through the help of a surgical robot, they can able to initiate a complex surgical process in humans. On the other hand, minimally invasive surgery through the surgical robot has several kinds of facilities. This process does not require a big area of surgery. Through precision and small instruments can do the surgery. This robot is built with a high-quality sensor and cameras and it helps to check the inside part of the body and also provides a high-resolution and clear picture of the part. This study has focused on several type...
Multidisciplinary Approach for Developing a New Minimally Invasive Surgical Robotic System
The First IEEE/RAS-EMBS International Conference on Biomedical Robotics and Biomechatronics, 2006. BioRob 2006., 2006
The synergy between fundamental science, engineering and medicine is constantly evolving while providing physicians with better tools and techniques for delivering patients effective health care. Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) revolutionized the way in which a number of surgical procedures are performed resulting in quicker postoperative recovery times.
Robotic technology in surgery: Past, present, and future
The American Journal of Surgery, 2004
It has been nearly 20 years since the first appearance of robotics in the operating room. In that time, much progress has been made in integrating robotic technologies with surgical instrumentation, as evidenced by the many thousands of successful robot-assisted cases. However, to build on past success and to fully leverage the potential of surgical robotics in the future, it is essential to maximize a shared understanding and communication among surgeons, engineers, entrepreneurs, and healthcare administrators. This article provides an introduction to medical robotic technologies, develops a possible taxonomy, reviews the evolution of a surgical robot, and discusses future prospects for innovation. Robotic surgery has demonstrated some clear benefits. It remains to be seen where these benefits will outweigh the associated costs over the long term. In the future, surgical robots should be smaller, less expensive, easier to operate, and should seamlessly integrate emerging technologies from a number of different fields. Such advances will enable continued progress in surgical instrumentation and, ultimately, surgical care.
