Laparoscopic surgery

Historical development and context of Robotic Technology History of robotic surgery: Although a lot of factors such as economics, managed health care system and other regulations have contributed to the change in landscape of surgery in the hospitals. Nothing causes this sudden change in the health system as the introduction of a new revolutionary technology soon to make impact. The change has crept its way so fast that new term, disruptive technology is applied to signify such abrupt and…

you have ever thought that our doctors would be able to preform a surgery on someone without even being physically present? The advancement in technology has reached whole new levels. In 2000, the da Vinci Surgery System was the first robotic surgery system approved by the FDA. Doctors are now able to preform surgeries for people across the world and they don’t even have to be there. Remote surgery is a system where they perform surgery using very small tools attached to a robotic arm and the…

Robotic Surgeries Vs Traditional Surgeries: An Rhetorical Analysis The topic of robotic surgeries compared to open surgeries and their costs has been a debate since 1983 when the first robotic-assisted surgery was introduced (Background). This debate is brought up and analyzed in Gabriel Barbash, M.D. and Sherry Glied Ph.D article entitled “New Technology and Health Care Costs –The Case of Robot-Assisted Surgery,” and was published in the highly renowned New England Journal of Medicine. This…

Surgery is hectic. With a minimum of eight people in an operating room, not including the patient, and the necessary medical devices, the room can be a tight squeeze for many. Adding the obstacle of a surgical robot and the machinery needed to operate it only decreases the space for the surgical team. Robots in the operating room push human surgeons out. Machines operating on humans is a compelling idea, but is not justifiable because robotic surgery is dangerous, less efficient than human…

What Is Bariatric Surgery? Bariatric surgery is also known as weight loss surgery. It not only helps a person lose weight, but it can also reduce the risk of serious medical complications. Bariatric surgery can work in two ways, restriction and malabsorption. Restriction involves surgically reducing the size of the stomach so that it holds less food. Malabsorption involves bypassing, or shortening, the small intestine so that the amount of nutrients and calories absorbed by the body is reduced.…

FUTURE WITH ROBOTS Imagine going to the hospital for a health issue and being diagnosed by a machine with artificial intelligence, or surgeons no longer having to perform surgeries on patients with their own latex-gloved hand. This may sound like an excerpt from a science fiction novel, but it is closer to reality than most people think. Robotics in the medical field was initialed research funded by NASA and military to develop technology for remote operations especially for injured…

robot-dependent surgery was known to be less invasive than preceding surgical methods. Because their was less intrusion in the body, the risk of infection was reduced, hospital stays were shorter, and recuperation time was reduced.(Vertut and Coiffet 97)Since this implementation of Robots as an assistant in delicate operations, numerous procedures have been performed laparascopically as both technology and skills of surgeons have advanced. Despite the advantages of using Robots in surgery, there…

call when the hospital needs them. It means when your shift is over and you’re relaxing at home, suddenly you get a call because you are needed for his/her assistance or need to operate on someone. Surgeons work a lot of hours. According to “General Surgery Residency Program,” “all residents have an 80 hour shift per week.” There are sleeping facilities that the hospital provides for the surgeons so they can stay and sleep. 8. In a hospital there are many health hazards. According to The Nest,…
