Robotic Assisted Surgery

A Robotic device is a power-driven, computer controlled manipulator by simulated sensing that can be reprogrammed to move and place tools to carry out a wide variety of tasks. The concept was developed for medical use in the early 1990s and the field of surgical robotics has undergone a massive transformation, making the future is even brighter. Innovative technique brings with it risks and the possibility of technical difficulties. The person who bears the impact of complications or benefits from new inventions is the patient. Anesthesiologists must do their part of the patient in the perioperative period. Nurses should be prepared for screening and selection of patients in a different perspective, remembering the sharp learning curves of

The proposed usage of the robotic-assisted surgery is to render the best patient care and gain better patient outcomes. However, it is very expensive for both the patient and the healthcare system. The overall purpose is to reduce the severity of pain and increasing patient comfort levels as well as maintaining safety. The technology remains in the developmenal stage because of the changing evolution, ongoing research and higher education (Adhami & Coste-Manirei, 2003) How Does Technology Deliver Value to the Nursing Profession

Nursing is a profession that requires ongoing research and evidence-based practices. Robotic-assisted technologies will deliver value to nurses because they required advanced knowledge in the use of the technology in order to ensure patient safety. Nurses involved in robotic-assisted surgery learn exactly how to position the patient correctly to make sure pressure points were padded and anti-skid materials were place correctly to avoid neuromuscular injuries.

These surgeries are still very expensive, which will make it prohibitive for many hospitals and health-care centers. (Ma, Dong, Du, & Li, 2013).With evolving technologies, the developed system will become more beneficial to patients by providing benefits such as a shorter hospitalization, reduced pain, and discomfort, faster recovery time and return to regular activities, minimal incisions, resulting in reduced risk of infection, reduced blood loss and transfusions and minimal scarring. This technology benefits the patient as well as the surgeons because it allows greater live 3D visualization and magnification of the surgical region, plus greatly enhanced precision, dexterity, and control which will allow the surgeon to manipulate equipment’s and instruments better.
