Virtuoso Surgical
"Virtuoso is a new endoscopic surgical system that delivers two robotically controlled, needle-sized manipulators that work from the tip of a rigid endoscope.
This system replaces straight tools in almost any rigid endoscopic procedure and enables the surgeon to grasp, manipulate, and cut tissue with a dexterity unparalleled in rigid endoscopy today.
The Virtuoso system brings the stability and dexterity of robot-assisted surgery to rigid endoscopy and promises to improve patient outcomes by providing surgeons better control of their instruments during difficult procedures.
It reduces the need for awkward and potentially dangerous endoscope movements and enables the surgeon to manipulate tissue as though their hands were inside the body.
Virtuoso has designed manipulators that are many times smaller than other robotic surgical instruments. This enables the surgeon to fit tools into previously unreachable areas of the body and paves the way for new therapies, all through a single port that is less than one centimeter in diameter.
Rigid endoscopes are currently used in almost every area of surgery, including neurologic, thoracic, orthopedic, urologic, and gynecologic procedures. The Virtuoso system enhances the traditional rigid endoscope by providing dexterous, robotic tools without disrupting the operating room workflow."
