Recently a new robot has been developed with an intelligent algorithm, combines with the tracking system to guide and autonomously adjust (in real time) the surgical plan as the tissue moves around and changes. What you think autonomous surgical robots will outperform human hands? |

Will this new autonomous robot will perform surgery without taking commands by surgeon? Right now as I have witnessed in da Vinci surgery the surgeon actually is operating only with the help of da Vinci surgical robotic arm? |

We do daVinci surgery since 2010 but I have witnessed the testing of new autonomous robot "STAR" in an anastomosis procedure, which involved connecting tubular intestinal loops in live pigs. They then compared metrics of the anastomosis, including consistency of suturing informed by the average suture spacing, the pressure at which the anastomosis leaked, the number of mistakes that required removing the needle from the tissue, completion time, and lumen reduction in intestinal anastomoses. The results showed that when compared to manual laparoscopic surgery and robotic assisted surgery (RAS), the outcome of the supervised autonomous procedures was superior in both porcine tissues and in living pigs. May be in future these types of autonomous robot will replace the surgeons hand. |
