“Surgical cobotics is NOT an evolution; Surgical cobotics is a REVOLUTION”
Surgical robotics¶
The medical, and more specifically surgical, environment has changed considerably in the past few years. Today's surgeons work in an extremely dense "digital" environment, using a wide variety of procedural technologies.
“The robotic systems used in surgical procedures today are not robots, but medical devices that complement the surgeon's work”
Surgical robotics is a technical assistance, a tool like a scalpel, that makes surgery much easier. The surgeon is positioned behind a console. They benefit from ergonomically designed comfort. Robots enhance visualization capabilities. Specific algorithms control the forceps used to operate on the patient. The robot transmits the surgeon's hand movements on a micrometer scale to the surgical area within the patients' body, improving surgical technique and patient treatment. The OR team experiences fewer incidents
Surgical Cobotics: more than just a technology in the operating room¶
“Cobotic: collaborative robotic”
If robotics enhances the benefits of medical interventions, surgical cobotics provides real help in surgical procedures, radiotherapy and interventional radiology.
The cobot allows the surgeon to modify or improve surgical techniques, and to access specific parts of the human body with greater precision, to improve patient care. The cobot's sensors improve the surgeon's skill, agility and freedom of movement, giving him greater control over his work. For surgeons, the surgical procedure is easier. Hand movements are minimized.
For patients, surgical cobotics contribute to improved care. The variability of surgical interventions and their duration will be reduced. Blood loss is significantly reduced.
Statistics and feedback on surgical robotics are highly promising, showing how reliable and profitable these techniques are compared with conventional surgery, opening the door to a new area of healthcare: semi-autonomous medical cobotics.
