Indeed, current robotics translate fine motion from hands to end-effectors, and articulate. The ability to rest your wrists/forearms on a padded console (thus mitigating intention tremor) and to articulate end-effectors allows:
- Access to tissue planes that do not fit the angle-of-attack of straight sticks
- Helps avoids internal collisions, otherwise known as "sword-fighting" in the early days of lap surgery
- Allows the surgeon to straddle the patient so they are not hunched over like Quasimodo, which is how straight Lap Prostate was originally done. For many surgeries the surgeon has to be on both sides to approach certain anatomical tissue planes.
Although AI-assistance all sounds good, and maybe it will be, I kinda wonder if it will go the way of natural orifice surgery from years ago, which was a giant bust; we'll see.
But, as long as you're at a console interface, the most enabling capability would have to be realtime responsive deep tissue visualization using transmitted/reflected alternative wavelengths, acoustic imaging, spectral identification, OCT, etc.
The merging of real time digital pathology and surgical imaging is an ideal place for vision and surgery to meaningfully combine.
🤔 Think Robots Handle Surgeries on Their Own?
Think Again!
Myth: Robots do the surgery alone.
Truth: Surgeons control every move! Robotic assistance boosts precision and reduces risks. It's just as safe as traditional surgery—only more accurate! Don’t let misconceptions stop you from exploring this innovative option!
