Robotic-assisted surgery is changing how minimally invasive procedures are performed across the world.

Instead of relying only on traditional instruments, surgeons now use robotic systems that provide: ✔ Enhanced precision ✔ Better visualisation ✔ Improved flexibility ✔ Greater control in complex procedures

These systems are being used in cardiac surgery, urology, gynaecology, oncology, and more.

The goal is to support surgeons with advanced technology that may help improve surgical efficiency and patient recovery.

Interesting to see how technologies like 3D imaging, AI-assisted guidance, and robotic arms are becoming part of modern operating rooms.

One example in this space is Meril’s MIZZO Endo 4000 robotic-assisted surgical platform designed for minimally invasive procedures.

Research In Lag Time Set To Determine The Future Of Telesurgery

 Advancements in robotic surgery continue to make headlines, especially with the latest news about Ethicon, a medical device company in the Johnson & Johnson family, entering into a partnership with the Life Sciences team at Google to develop surgical robotics. But what is the real future of medical robots? One area of current research, performed by the Florida Hospital Nicholson Center,… Read…

     The main feature of this system is force feedback as the surgeon needs to be able to gauge the amount of pressure to use when performing a delicate procedure. Unfortunately, there is an issue of time delay or latency which is a serious concern as any delay – even a fraction of a second – can feel abnormal to the surgeon and interrupt the procedure. So there needs to be precise force feedback in place to prevent this.

The surgeon who operates from 400km away

When Mehran Anvari picks up a surgical instrument and cuts into somebody’s flesh, he doesn’t use his own hands. In fact, he’s not even in the room. He operates on patients that are 400 kilometres away.

From a console in St Joseph’s Hospital in Hamilton, Canada, he controls a robot surgeon in an entirely different part of the country, slicing, stitching and removing bits of the…

Yeeeee!

DeBakey students all over this video! (I'm in it too)

But seriously, it was an amazing opportunity to be there and listen to all the surgeons and witness what was happening and all the change that has happened in medicine.
