Description: Edge surgical robots are essentially endoscopic surgical instrument control systems which are innovative minimally invasive surgical devices. In principle, the systems work similar to laparoscopy, but with Edge surgical robots, surgeons can sit by the console and remote control robotic arms to perform complex operations including cutting ,dissecting and stapling instead of manually operating the instruments.
Compared with laparoscopes, surgical robots can provide higher precision surgeries. Robotic surgeries can be more complex. Benefit by human hands tremors filter function, surgeons can deal with larger trauma which may bring more difficult surgical procedures and longer durations with surgical robots:
1. When removing diseased tissues, surgeons can effectively avoid damaging unnecessary nerves or blood vessels since surgeons can operate precisely through robot’s 3D imaging system
2. Surgeons can just sit by the console to perform the surgery, free of hand fatigue and tremor. Surgeons can control robots endoscope with no aid of anybody’s assistant. All the surgeon need is an assistant that can change the surgical instruments which can greatly impove the surgery efficiency;
3. A robot-assisted surgery is not fundamentally different from laparoscopy. It requires inflation of the abdomen of the patient with carbon dioxide, trocars for subsequent placement of surgical instruments, and fine-tuning of robotic arms. While this may take a few extra minutes, due to better flexibility of the robot, the total procedure duration can be shorter than laparoscopy surgery for complex surgeries.
For patients, robot-assisted surgery have the benefits of smaller incision, smooth process, limited blood loss and shorter duration, thereby improving quality of postoperative recovery. Edge surgical robots are born to empower surgeons and benefit patients!
