Study Notes
Robotic Surgery History and Systems
- The first documented robotic surgical procedure was a CT-guided brain biopsy.
- Early robotic systems were teleoperated (master-slave), with the surgeon controlling robotic arms remotely.
- The AESOP system mounted an endoscopic camera on a robotic arm, controlled by voice command. Used in cholecystectomy, hernia surgery, and mammary conduit harvesting.
- The ZEUS robot (1996) offered three arms, including one for a voice-controlled endoscope, enabling motion scaling and tremor correction. Facilitated microsurgery and the first fully endoscopic robotic procedure (Fallopian tube reanastomosis in 1998). The first remote surgery (cholecystectomy) was performed using ZEUS in 2001.
- The da Vinci Surgical System (approved 2000, released 1999) became the dominant system, offering 3D vision, EndoWrist instruments, tremor reduction, motion scaling, and improved ergonomics.
Robotic System Types
- Teleoperated (master-slave) systems: Surgeons operate via a robot and instruments through a computerized platform. Can be onsite or remote.
- Active systems: Robots complete pre-programmed tasks guided by preoperative imaging and real-time anatomical data.
- Semiactive systems: Combine pre-programmed elements with surgeon control.
Ergonomic Advantages of Robotic Surgery
- Robotic surgery improves surgeon ergonomics compared to laparoscopic surgery, reducing physical strain from extended procedures and awkward positioning.
- Master-slave systems allow surgeons to operate from a remote console, optimizing positioning.
Uptake and Future Directions of Robotic Surgery
- Many specialties utilize robotic surgery (general, cardiothoracic, urology, orthopedics, ENT, gynecology, pediatrics, microsurgery).
- Systems aim for multifunctionality across specialties and environments (operating theatre and remote). Remote surgery is still rare.
- Newer systems like the Medtronic Hugo RAS system aim for lower cost and flexibility.
- Future systems may incorporate robotic autonomy and machine learning.
Da Vinci X
- A lower-cost option from Intuitive Surgical, offering features of the Xi system but with reduced multi-quadrant surgical flexibility.
Complications and Patient Considerations
- Potential complications include shoulder tip pain, minor surgical emphysema, and rare visceral injury.
- Patients may have concerns about the technology and require clear explanations.
Preoperative Considerations
- Routine preoperative physical examination is necessary.
- Longer operating times are possible.
- Carbon dioxide insufflation can cause cardiac arrhythmias.
- Severe chronic obstructive airway disease and ischemic heart disease may be contraindications.
- Morbid obesity may require specialized instrumentation.
Theatre Setup
- Modern theatres have moveable booms for video, diathermy, and laparoscopic equipment, along with high-resolution monitors.
