Abstract - Over the past 100 years modern science has been responsible for some miraculous inventions to aid the delivery of medical treatment such as the x-ray machine, ultra sound technology and the cochlear implant. One of the latest improvements is in the field of robotic surgery, which is redefining the way in which patients undergo procedures. Not to be confused with computer-aided surgery, robotic surgery utilizes the robot to actually perform the manual tasks of the surgery. In fact, there is no second thought that robotic arm performs the surgery under the assistance of a doctor. In this research paper we have explored the working of robotics arm, the benefits of conducting patients operations via robotic arm, the problems faced in …show more content…
1 Da Vinci Robotic Arm
A. Composition
The most popular example of robotic arm is the Da Vinci Surgical System [4, 5] from Intuitive Surgical. This system is divided into four key elements. Fig. 2a Instruments used by Da Vinci robotic arm Fig. 2b Doctor sitting on his console
• The surgeon’s console allows the surgeon to operate the controls with his or her fingers (Fig. 2b) and specialized tools (Fig. 2a) from a seated position. Fig. 3 Telescopic view seen by doctor at his/her end
• The vision system integrated into the console provides viewing of the surgical field via a 3D image. It features a tiny telescope, which is placed inside an incision in the patient’s body. The telescope takes images from two points, which are relayed back to a console so the surgeon has a 3D image on-screen while he operates (Fig. 3).
• The patient-side cart comprises three or four robotic arms, two or three instrument arms and one endoscope arm that perform the commands as dictated by the surgeon.
• Wrist instruments enable the surgeon to perform tasks such as clamping and stitching as they are designed with seven degrees of motion that mimic the dexterity of the human hand and wrist.

This product won't see that kind of commercial application for a long time. Right now, its goal is to help patients with paralysis. This technology is supported by a video that demonstrates the technology shows a 58-year-old woman who has been physically paralyzed for 15 years. She has no control of her arms or legs. And yet, with BrainGate's robotic arm, she was able to grasp a thermos, raise it to her mouth, and drink. That's the level of precision that the incredible device offers. According to BrainGate, this marked the first time in 15 years that the woman was able to have a sip of coffee without the help of another person. The implications are of course potentially vast. These are the kinds of stories that are hidden in upcoming
The Canadarm was designed by M.d Robotics to not have any fixed ends so it could crawl along the space station to repair or to move parts on the Space Station. The Canadian arm is 17.6(55ft) long with 7 motorized joints that can turn 540 degrees. The arm is controlled by an astronaut inside the space station, the astronaut is able to see through 4 color cameras that will help him control the arm in how it’s suppose to be used.
Recently, articular surgery robot named ‘ROBODOC’ or ‘RIO’ has been widely used for arthritis or arthroplasty. Both robots consist of arthroscope and tiny surgical instruments. Many surgeons estimated that articular surgery using these robots is more accurate, elaborate than using an arthroscope and small surgical instrument,
The Da Vinci Surgical System is a large purpose-built robot controlled by a surgeon that performs minimally invasive surgical procedures on patients. The system incorporates an ergonomically designed surgeon's console, a patient-side module with four interactive robotic arms, each with interchangeable surgical instruments and a 3-dimensional endoscopic vision system. Powered by high-tech supercomputers, the surgeon's hand movements are scaled, filtered and then converted into precise movements of the surgical attachments. The designers of the system are a team of doctors, engineers and biomedical engineers at a company called Intuitive Surgical.

The utilization of robotics in the medical field is a cutting-edge technology which continues to develop rapidly. The main purpose for the integration of medical robotics in health-care is to sanction for a greater sense of accuracy in surgical procedures, which is something that has not been previously achieved by human capabilities alone. This sense of accuracy has incremented what makes medical robotics a unique and valuable integration to the field of medicine. The field of medical robotics offers great potential for maximizing the capabilities of medicos and surgeons when performing complex surgical procedures, or when there is a strong need for dexterity and precision in diagnosis and treatment. Although the interest is mainly on surgical robotics, medical robotics covers a wide variety of patient-care areas.

Shanthi Pathirana and Pca Kam wrote “Anesthetic Issues in Robot-Assisted Minimally Invasive Surgery” to inform readers of what they considered the greatest danger of robotic surgery. They argue that using anesthesia on patients undergoing robotic operations is dangerous due to the positions the patients are in, environment of the operating room, and preparation that robotic operations require. They examined different robotic procedures and researched which procedures were the most dangerous. They found that during a prostatectomy the table tilts the patient’s body with the feet above the head, which limits blood flow; a sheet covers the patient’s head, which limits the esthetician’s ability to see the patient’s breathing; and the robotic arms
Surgical technologist have a fulfilling and adventurous job, being a technical assistant to the surgeon’s, with a number of tasks ahead of them, and problems that will go on, with an outcoming salary that will make a good living in life.
Since the beginning of time, human beings have been in search of ways to advance life as we know it. Every single day, somewhere in the world, technology is being transformed and an exciting new piece is birthed into society. Perhaps, one of the most influential advances is in our ever evolving medical profession. Thus, as technology continues to change the world as we know it, it is sweeping the medical field right along with it. Surgical procedures are being drastically improved with the use of robotic technology called da Vinci.
Med Bot Technology has advanced in the healthcare system. This has improved care in many ways. As technology continues to emerge, healthcare professionals are likely to see further innovative features built that can make patient care delivery safer and more efficient. In the near future, I would like to see innovative technology that will allow nurses to build stronger rapport with patients and provide quality improvement in care. To allow this, I envision a robot that can go around the unit, alleviating nurses from one of the many tasks they are responsible for.
I chose the Da Vinci Surgical system as my topic because I am interested into going to physical therapy or into the orthopedics field after undergrad. Surgical equipment is highly important due to the hundreds of accidents that happen and also the high percentage of diseases. As these incidents occur it is important to consider the safety of the patient when it comes to cutting into their bodies. With the invention of the Da Vinci Surgical system it helped with vision and different viewpoints of the patient’s body and also improves precision. It is important to have a machine or tool for more than one type of surgery, one to use on patients with different injuries or diseases. Overall, this surgical system helps improve and help further research how precise and how in control a surgeon can be.
A robot-assisted surgery demonstrates how far America and the whole world have come in means of technology within a particular working field. The necessity for a more superior technology within hospital settings are best supported by the development of the da Vinci Surgical System. In 1991, when the surgical system was introduced to the globe, many acknowledged that this system improved three different aspects of regular laparoscopic surgery: it gave doctor...
This is a type of laparoscopic procedure in which surgical instruments will be controlled with the help of a robotic arm.
In addition, due to technological advancement, medical treatment is often accompanied by big and complicated machines. It includes machines for CT- scan, Dialysis and X-Ray. It is often difficult for the females to operate and handle...
