Topic : Robotic Surgery
Just as computers revolutionized the first half of the twenty first century,
the robotics feild has the promise to equally coincide the way we live in the
present generation. We have already known how robots have customized the
manufacturing of automobiles and other goods of client by narrowing and
speeding up the assembly lines. Robots have also empowered humans to see
places that cannot be visited , such as other planets and depths of the ocean that
is never before seen and just as technology operated diagnostic instruments
have been in light from past many years in medical industry to provide correct
effective information through ultrasound, computer-aided topography,
ultracentrfuge and other image capturing technologies, robotic technology is
making it's way to operating rooms all over the globe. When we address about
robots doing work of humans we commonly hype about the future, but robotics
surgery is already in sight.
This technology is not self-controlled robot that can perform surgical
procedures on it's own,but the surgeon should contribute his helping hands
during oversensitive surgery procedures. This technology, named the Vinci
Surgical System, allows the human surgeon to get closer to the surgical place
than human vision and will coordinate the work at a lowered scale than
prescribed surgery tolerance.
While gathering at the control desk, a few feet away from the
operating table, the surgeon looks into a optical device to examine the 3-D
images being captured and sent by camera placed inside the patient. The
images show the surgical place and the two surgical analyser mounted at the
corner of two robotic arms. Joystick which controls, located at the keyboard
beneath the screen, are used by the surgeon to take command over surgical
analysers, which moves in sync with the movements of the surgeon's hands. This
technology translates the surgeon's movements into precise real-time
movements of the surgical instruments inside the patient without hand vibration.
a narrow pencil sized instrument specialized computer technology-enhanced
automobile wrists that are designed to have the same motion as the surgeon's
forearm and wrists at the operative place. These mechanical motion wrists give
the surgeon the ability to reach around, beyond, and behind delicate body
structures. The wrists can roll, pitch, bend, and grip just as if it were a human
hand. The Vinci system provides the surgeon with the control, range of motion,
tissue manipulation capability, and 3-D visualization of open surgery all while
working through 1-cm incisions in the patient.
Robotic surgery has many advantages. For instance, heart bypass
surgery now requires that the patient's chest be cracked open...
