Surgeons need to learn how to address the novel control modalities of surgical instruments and the loss of haptic feedback, which is a common feature of most surgical robots. High-fidelity physical simulation has proved to be a valid training tool, and it might help in fulfilling these learning needs. In this regard, a high-fidelity sensorized simulator of vascular structures was designed, fabricated and preliminarily validated. The main objective of the simulator is to train novices in robotic surgery to correctly perform vascular resection procedures without applying excessive strain to tissues. The vessel simulator was integrated with soft strain sensors to quantify and objectively assess manipulation skills and to provide real-time feedback to the trainee during a training session. Additionally, a portable and user-friendly training task board was produced to replicate anatomical constraints. The simulator was characterized in terms of its mechanical properties, demonstrating its realism with respect to human tissues. Its face, content and construct validity, together with its usability, were assessed by implementing a training scenario with 13 clinicians, and the results were generally positive.</p><p> <i>Source: <a href=" https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-024-55351-8">Nature</a></i><br /></p>T.http://www.blogger.com/profile/05106336058843921755noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1863728266917634099.post-28259909203309649732024-03-14T22:00:00.000-07:002024-03-16T02:41:14.748-07:00BREAKING - da Vinci 5 got FDA cleared<p style="text-align: justify;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTV9O8_G8SGvpq9f4sPlpDmpv3jW_di0XMCpVNQ1TI7YEAa8t8kxguw0X5pzcVSFFrxY5aLeLnRrJ2sJza-TB_9sLZEn_vH0nO50wrTwCpAbVpl6JoLY3NU-mJDubL55HlrAd45Ej0Kt2XL5-mdRLV-uARU3DRWnWK0CQy6ubaedPzM5p-iQUP-KZ0fT90/s1463/da%20Vinci%205_sm.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="687" data-original-width="1463" height="188" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTV9O8_G8SGvpq9f4sPlpDmpv3jW_di0XMCpVNQ1TI7YEAa8t8kxguw0X5pzcVSFFrxY5aLeLnRrJ2sJza-TB_9sLZEn_vH0nO50wrTwCpAbVpl6JoLY3NU-mJDubL55HlrAd45Ej0Kt2XL5-mdRLV-uARU3DRWnWK0CQy6ubaedPzM5p-iQUP-KZ0fT90/w400-h188/da%20Vinci%205_sm.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><a href="http://surgrob.blogspot.com/2024/01/number-of-day-da-vinci-5.html">Finally</a>, da Vinci 5 is out! With brand new surgeon's console and internal control structure and many advanced features...<p></p><p style="text-align: justify;">"Da Vinci 5 builds on decades of Intuitive technology and millions of robotic procedures<br /><br />SUNNYVALE, Calif., March 14, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Intuitive (NASDAQ:ISRG), a global technology leader in minimally invasive care and the pioneer of robotic-assisted surgery, announced today that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) provided 510(k) clearance for da Vinci 5, the company’s next-generation multiport robotic system.<br /><br />“We are pleased to receive FDA clearance for our fifth-generation robotic system, da Vinci 5,” said Gary Guthart, CEO. “Intuitive is committed to meaningful improvements in surgery that enable better patient outcomes, enhance the patient and care team experiences, and ultimately lower the total cost of care. After more than a decade of careful research, design, development, and testing, we believe da Vinci 5 will deliver on these goals and help drive the future of robotic-assisted surgery.”<br /><br />Da Vinci 5 builds on Intuitive’s da Vinci Xi’s highly functional design, which surgeons and care teams around the world have used in more than 7 million procedures to date. The system includes more than 150 enhancements, including:<br /><br /></p><ul style="text-align: justify;"><li> Improved accuracy and precision: Da Vinci 5’s design and engineering enhancements, including new surgeon controllers and powerful vibration and tremor controls, make it the smoothest and most precise system Intuitive has developed to date.</li><li> Next-generation 3D display and image processing: Da Vinci 5 is equipped with Intuitive’s highest quality and most natural 3D imaging system, enabling surgeons to see more today, and supporting future generations of surgical endoscopes and vision software as those technologies evolve.</li><li> First-of-its-kind force-sensing technology: Da Vinci 5 introduces Force Feedback technology and optional instruments that enable the system to measure, and surgeons to feel, subtle forces exerted on tissue during surgery —something no other surgical technology in any modality offers. In preclinical trials with surgeons at all experience levels, Force Feedback demonstrated up to 43 percent less force exerted on tissue, which may translate to less trauma on tissue. The ability to measure this force adds an important new data stream to surgical data science, which can bring future analytical insights supported through artificial intelligence. Force Feedback instruments, which are optional for use with da Vinci 5, are cleared for use in the same procedures as da Vinci Xi, except pediatric and cardiac procedures, and a specific contraindication for the Force Feedback needle driver for use in suturing during hysterectomy and myomectomy procedures.</li><li> Meaningful throughput and workflow enhancements: Da Vinci 5 has innovative features that are designed to help increase surgeon autonomy and streamline surgeon and care team workflow. For example, da Vinci 5 has integrated key OR technologies, including insufflation and an electrosurgical unit. The system also includes an optimized user interface, with settings that are accessible by the broader surgical team and by the surgeon directly from the head-in menu. Surgeons have access to other key settings while head-in to help them stay focused on the surgical field.</li><li> Together, these innovations will continue to streamline workflow in the OR and potentially save valuable time, without compromising patient safety. This can enable more efficient use of a hospital’s human and capital resources.</li><li> Expanded computing power and advanced data capabilities: Da Vinci 5 has more than 10,000 times the computing power of da Vinci Xi. This enables innovative new system capabilities and advanced digital experiences, now and in the future, including integration with Intuitive’s My Intuitive app, SimNow (virtual reality simulator), Case Insights (computational observer), and Intuitive Hub (edge computing system).</li><li> Greater surgeon comfort: The system features a redesigned console capable of customizable positioning, allowing surgeons to find their best fit for surgical viewing and comfort, including the ability to sit completely upright. The surgeon can make any necessary adjustments while their head is in the console, with options designed to fit different body types, including surgeons who are pregnant.</li></ul><p style="text-align: justify;">Da Vinci 5 will initially be available to a small number of customers in the U.S. who collaborated with Intuitive during the development period and those with mature robotic surgery programs. Intuitive will work with surgeons at these initial sites to generate additional data on the system’s use before a wider commercial introduction.<br /><br />“We strive to provide customers with technology that meets their needs and solves important problems,” said Intuitive’s Chief Medical Officer, Myriam J. Curet, M.D. “We intend to launch da Vinci 5 more broadly in the U.S. and globally after we learn from and work with an initial smaller number of customers directly.”<br /><br />Da Vinci 5 is the latest addition to the da Vinci family, which includes multiport systems da Vinci X and da Vinci Xi, and the single-port system da Vinci SP. These offer surgeons and hospitals their choice of highly capable, proven solutions from Intuitive.<br /><br />“We design our systems so we can integrate new functions, capabilities, indications, and instrumentation over time,” said Curet. “Our careful attention to customers’ long-term needs and goals has led our systems to become the hospital standard, and we expect to continue developing and innovating da Vinci 5 and da Vinci Xi over the coming years.”"</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Retinal disease has a huge societal impact, affecting three hundred million people around the world, and touching 1 in 3 persons in the US and Europe at some point in their lives.<br /><br />The Luca™ robotic surgery platform advances procedural capabilities while providing improved control for the surgeon, such as augmenting surgical precision by a factor of 20. By enhancing the surgeon's dexterity, the system improves the quality of surgeries performed today and enables game-changing new treatments for retinal diseases, such as Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD).<br /><br />Dr. Fanny Nerinckx, senior vitreoretinal surgeon, who performed the surgery stated, "I operated on my patient with two instruments and AcuSurgical's robot provided an unparalleled level of control and accuracy. This technology represents a major leap forward for our specialty and offers new surgical possibilities to treat our patients ."<br /><br />"We are thrilled that a patient was effectively and safely operated today using our novel technology," said Christoph Spuhler, CEO of AcuSurgical. "Luca opens the way to augment retinal surgery with advanced technologies, such as AI and augmented visualization, and will lead to a whole panel of new revolutionary treatments for retinal disease. Moving forward, we plan to complete the clinical study enrollment to support future regulatory registration of our robot in Europe and in the US.""</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><i>Source: <a href="https://www.medtechdive.com/press-release/20240307-worlds-first-clinical-stage-bi-manual-ophthalmology-robot-successfully-com/">AcuSurgical</a></i><a href="https://www.medtechdive.com/press-release/20240307-worlds-first-clinical-stage-bi-manual-ophthalmology-robot-successfully-com/"> </a><br /></p>T.http://www.blogger.com/profile/05106336058843921755noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1863728266917634099.post-26293043946239209642024-03-05T20:56:00.000-08:002024-03-05T20:56:00.159-08:00Video Wednesday<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/cvMvMo1dGpU" width="320" youtube-src-id="cvMvMo1dGpU"></iframe></div><br /><p><br /></p>T.http://www.blogger.com/profile/05106336058843921755noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1863728266917634099.post-27766066726253442162024-03-04T06:00:00.000-08:002024-03-04T18:22:29.007-08:00Article intro - SDGs and robotics<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhE1Ejcq1EUEkBBYASX4pJZFEUtvER7DPxGkjZXz-27x5eCCj084xMJp7Mjntd9d73YFD8OI_rzOkWAvm_0eSMMo8GgCjE2NuGGQFUkb_Vl7jGvYdYe9KZrF0eu8QX4W6-B24l5MExF7xR0v8HLSXC9ViWmMy09-F4OLoSaJhEP4n6Z4CGisuUIe1DTJF1d/s2377/UNSDGrobotGoals300dpiRGB.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1198" data-original-width="2377" height="201" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhE1Ejcq1EUEkBBYASX4pJZFEUtvER7DPxGkjZXz-27x5eCCj084xMJp7Mjntd9d73YFD8OI_rzOkWAvm_0eSMMo8GgCjE2NuGGQFUkb_Vl7jGvYdYe9KZrF0eu8QX4W6-B24l5MExF7xR0v8HLSXC9ViWmMy09-F4OLoSaJhEP4n6Z4CGisuUIe1DTJF1d/w400-h201/UNSDGrobotGoals300dpiRGB.png" width="400" /></a></div>We are most proud of our recent article: <a href="https://doi.org/10.1016/j.spc.2023.11.011.">T. Haidegger, V. Mai, C.M. Mörch, D.O. Boesl, A. Jacobs, B. Rao R, A. Khamis, L. Lach, B. Vanderborght, Robotics: Enabler and inhibitor of the Sustainable Development Goals</a>. Published in Sustainable Production and Consumption (volume 43, 2023), as part of the <a href="https://www.sustainablerobotics.org/">SUSTAINABLE ROBOTICS initiative.</a><br /><br /><b>Abstract</b><p></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Robotics has the power to help our society in managing many current and foreseeable challenges, and contribute to a responsible future, as formally structured in the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) initiative. Prior work has already investigated the impact of Artificial Intelligence (AI) on the SDGs, using a systematic consensus-based expert elicitation process. However, the existing literature has not focused on the intricacies of robotics and the unique dynamics this domain presents regarding the SDGs. In this vein, this work adapts an established approach, to focus on and dive deeper into the field of robotics and social responsibility. We introduce a multidisciplinary analysis of both the enabling and disabling roles of robotics, in achieving the SDG-presented, major economic, social and environmental priorities. The United Nation's 17 SDG and the 169 Targets, were individually examined within the context of state-of-the-art robotics already documented in scientific literature. The significance and the quality-of-evidence of enabling/inhibiting impacts, were assessed by an international panel of experts, to quantify the positive or negative effect of the applied robotic systems. Results from this study indicate that robotics has the potential to enable 46 % of the Targets, particularly for the industry and environment-related SDGs, forecasting a huge impact on our production systems and thus on our entire society. Inversely, robotics could inhibit 19 % of the SDG Targets, mainly through exacerbation of inequalities and tensions in the SDGs. The objective of this paper is to assess and grade the current impact of the robotics megatrend on the SDGs, provide comparable data, and encourage the robotics community to work on these targets, in a unified way and eventually improve the quality of the related outcomes.<br /></p><p style="text-align: left;"> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimdo8dppo-NP1bot3WSxQLwbKYwW9ZN7S5LzVm8SuwDuP6_m3c087q_1sOQWwrhKXdPigpxgqUhrmkU7t6ChicDhOz10waicaYLZhPUtdhC0EBkl0eCqjtSKETg6a8Pg_wDpwQu7HqPi2vadYl8L5rpsEiM-2aYfmgAp64Jkdo1MkjwjdYk9WAEyZcHxrn/s1000/SDG.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="568" data-original-width="1000" height="228" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimdo8dppo-NP1bot3WSxQLwbKYwW9ZN7S5LzVm8SuwDuP6_m3c087q_1sOQWwrhKXdPigpxgqUhrmkU7t6ChicDhOz10waicaYLZhPUtdhC0EBkl0eCqjtSKETg6a8Pg_wDpwQu7HqPi2vadYl8L5rpsEiM-2aYfmgAp64Jkdo1MkjwjdYk9WAEyZcHxrn/w400-h228/SDG.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><p></p><p style="text-align: left;">Keywords: Sustainable robotics; UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs); Industry 4.0; Social responsibility; Smart production</p><p><i>Source: <a href="https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2352550923002634">Elsevier</a></i><br /></p><p><i>Image credit: <a href="https://www.sustainablerobotics.org/">Sustainable Robotics Consortium</a> and Katalin Holland</i><br /><br /></p>T.http://www.blogger.com/profile/05106336058843921755noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1863728266917634099.post-37238501163384864912024-03-02T23:03:00.000-08:002024-03-02T23:03:12.063-08:00CFP - Surgical Robot Challenge 2024<p style="text-align: justify;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9WmoeawYkACZxHPNJK8rMSb5No8YkIvKC5gI_5lq9CQWhqgWSPG3ywr7jSuY3TIm-Vzv_ZGLAACaZ2FxwimpmlYsAFGMJYxep-6_YEbVTv87cnuneL828MWHKm52Z6vR8l4HX6UjisXlk1szNhq635W9x6iCw_r0jp7ZLtNH9KmFgHZ3iFBgqXECA_jyZ/s1077/Hamlyn.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="422" data-original-width="1077" height="156" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9WmoeawYkACZxHPNJK8rMSb5No8YkIvKC5gI_5lq9CQWhqgWSPG3ywr7jSuY3TIm-Vzv_ZGLAACaZ2FxwimpmlYsAFGMJYxep-6_YEbVTv87cnuneL828MWHKm52Z6vR8l4HX6UjisXlk1szNhq635W9x6iCw_r0jp7ZLtNH9KmFgHZ3iFBgqXECA_jyZ/w400-h156/Hamlyn.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><p></p><p style="text-align: justify;">CALL FOR ENTRIES<br /><a href="https://www.hamlynsymposium.org/surgical-robot-challenge/">"We are thrilled to announce that the application period for our annual Surgical Robot Challenge is now officially OPEN!<br /><br />This global competition draws participation from top surgical robotics groups worldwide, providing a platform to unveil inventive concepts across various surgical robot platforms.<br /><br />While applications are open to diverse focus areas, submissions should highlight innovation, practical application, and thoughtful design in showcasing how robots can enhance surgical procedures.

The company says this marks the clearance of the world’s first robotic surgery system for shoulder replacement. It’s also the fourth application for the ROSA (Robotic Surgical Assistant) portfolio, which includes the ROSA Knee and ROSA Hip. Zimmer Biomet said in a news release that ROSA Shoulder strengthens its shoulder implant portfolio. That includes the Identity Shoulder system and joins the ZBEdge Dynamic Intelligence platform. ZBEdge enhances the company’s digital technologies, robotics and implant solutions. The company designed ROSA Shoulder to give surgeons the flexibility to execute total shoulder replacement using anatomic or reverse techniques. It enables precise placement for improved outcomes. According to Zimmer Biomet, it’s one of the only systems that can reproduce humeral head resectioning and ease insertion of instruments into incisions by requiring no pin in the center of the glenoid during procedures. As with other ROSA applications, the system supports data-informed physician decision-making based on unique anatomies. It integrates with the newly released Signature ONE surgical planning system. Signature ONE uses a 3D image-based approach to visualization, surgical planning and patient-specific guide creation. The company plans to launch ROSA Shoulder in the U.S. in the second half of 2024."</p><p><br /></p><p><i>Source: <a href="https://www.massdevice.com/fda-clears-rosa-shoulder-robotic-surgery-zimmer-biomet/">MassDevice</a></i><br /></p>T.http://www.blogger.com/profile/05106336058843921755noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1863728266917634099.post-12130476572258922332024-02-21T06:00:00.000-08:002024-02-21T06:00:00.263-08:00Video Wednesday<p> At last, we have a surgical robot in space!</p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS) uses a few small incisions, then an endoscope is inserted into one and surgical instruments into the others. MIS is advantageous in many cases but has drawbacks like angle of view, range of motion and uncomfortable standing positions, several of which can be solved by Robot-Assisted Minimally Invasive Surgery (RAMIS). The patient outcome serves as a reliable measure of the quality of surgical procedures, and the ongoing provision of surgical training and feedback plays a crucial role in improving surgical skills and mitigating poor patient outcomes. Surgical phantoms can help to facilitate efficient training. A surgical phantom, also known as a medical model, is a 3D tool that resembles the surgical environment in appearance, texture, or other characteristics, such as being imageable with CT or X-ray. Phantoms are utilised for surgical training and skill assessment, practise of a certain task, medical imaging, and improvement. PubMed and Scopus databases were searched using the keywords ”minimally invasive surgery” AND “anatomical phantom”, and from each site, relevant publications from the previous four years, starting with June of 2019 and finishing with June of 2023, were collected. With the addition of external sources and exclusion criteria, 35 articles about surgical phantoms were reviewed. The phantoms described in these articles were categorised according to their usage to determine which topic is the most prevalent in the studies and where the academic community can enhance its research.</p><p><br /><i>Index Terms—Minimally Invasive Surgery, Robot-Assisted Minimally Invasive Surgery, Surgical Training, Surgical Phan toms</i><br /><br /><br /><br /></p>T.http://www.blogger.com/profile/05106336058843921755noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1863728266917634099.post-20931972491662698172024-02-11T06:00:00.000-08:002024-02-11T06:00:00.446-08:00Flickstop<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSu7sNy_rZa7Ekvq9mdBExBNVKVqwJxG3cGptdXvgbBb-RFxvtoojSWRmz6R8UYLfzcGk1s40NeNSER1LRG7HtHWBKWtVlD6f6Hs6qcu4-4Xc3Wd8UllGfdm5O_oEGcW_Fj1eOaKnWFjs9Qmnp_dwFNGDv-SZkvyoiBds_S57I1db4MFuNKdaDMFXxi4Fr/s800/Agilis_Robotics_Limited.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="300" data-original-width="800" height="150" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSu7sNy_rZa7Ekvq9mdBExBNVKVqwJxG3cGptdXvgbBb-RFxvtoojSWRmz6R8UYLfzcGk1s40NeNSER1LRG7HtHWBKWtVlD6f6Hs6qcu4-4Xc3Wd8UllGfdm5O_oEGcW_Fj1eOaKnWFjs9Qmnp_dwFNGDv-SZkvyoiBds_S57I1db4MFuNKdaDMFXxi4Fr/w400-h150/Agilis_Robotics_Limited.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><p></p><p><a href=" https://finance.yahoo.com/news/agilis-robotics-unveils-groundbreaking-advancements-015300554.html">Agilis Robotics Unveils Groundbreaking Advancements in Endoluminal Surgery </a><br /></p>T.http://www.blogger.com/profile/05106336058843921755noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1863728266917634099.post-8569735846171418352024-02-09T06:00:00.000-08:002024-02-11T19:30:56.020-08:00Number of the day - 1st trial<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1KlUyzGQEW8S8Qllw6vIBx7XgVf_ORPAu-BEKt2ld-ke6gHzMXJpGfuHzWPGTdFGtsgIlrBPik7TEBTKSfY-u0ndKXgUndY-D4L7m9GNf2-C1oL5-jdLDwJ0Okeo1rNBItDpOFIJISuE9q-Q1t35UhYBQ4barYZdbRKBjXirGbO-v2_Zhyphenhyphen7jXIlIbGU_j/s1427/1707319919802.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="853" data-original-width="1427" height="239" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1KlUyzGQEW8S8Qllw6vIBx7XgVf_ORPAu-BEKt2ld-ke6gHzMXJpGfuHzWPGTdFGtsgIlrBPik7TEBTKSfY-u0ndKXgUndY-D4L7m9GNf2-C1oL5-jdLDwJ0Okeo1rNBItDpOFIJISuE9q-Q1t35UhYBQ4barYZdbRKBjXirGbO-v2_Zhyphenhyphen7jXIlIbGU_j/w400-h239/1707319919802.jpeg" width="400" /></a></div><p></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="https://lnkd.in/d44GJxm3 ">First GEYEDANCE pre-clinical trials in Forl</a>i</p><p style="text-align: justify;">On February 3rd 2024, the GEYEDANCE consortium gathered in Forli for the first pre-clinical tests.
