Surgical procedures

Some procedures being performed today will/are being replaced and even the operating rooms will be different. The possibilities will be endless as we learn and adapt to this technology. We are already seeing changes taken place and we will be able to implement…

(da Vinci Surgery). Robotics is becoming more prevalent in the medical field, and the use of robotics is yet another way that our medical care is evolving in surgery. The introduction of surgical robots provides benefits for patients, doctors, and hospitals, and advances the current way of medical procedures. The da Vinci System The da Vinci system is one of the few robots used to assist a surgeon during an operation. The da Vinci has multiple arms hooked up to a HD video screen, it…

Modern surgical procedures employ a wide variety of technical devices ranging from basic mechanical instrumentation to high-tech robotic surgical complexes. Close to the top of this scale are laparoscopic surgical systems. Laparoscopic (aka minimally invasive surgery, later referred to as MIS) surgery by itself is a modern surgical technique in which operations are performed far from their location through small incisions (usually 0.5–1.5 cm) elsewhere in the body [1]. The key element in…

mechanical hands of a robot? Robotic-assisted surgery is becoming more commonplace in medical treatment. As with any new technology, there are a lot of questions about the safety and usefulness of these robots, and how they compare to traditional surgical methods. The usage of robots in surgery has decreased the risk, increased the effectiveness, and changed the dynamics of surgery. To understand the advantages of robotic-assisted surgery, the concept of robotic-assisted surgery should be…

development. The medicine evolved with the implementation of technologies during the industrial revolution and now in the time of the information society. Mavericks in medicine have always used new inventions for modifications and improvements of procedures. Therefore, many IT companies nowadays follow the same way by looking to the future and make attempts to implement their innovations in medicine. Some recent IT technologies, such as robotics, networking and artificial systems that…

used to describe procedures performed by health care providers for billing purposes (Smiley, 2015). The tenth edition of the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-10) reference book provides a system of codes that classifies every disease and health finding identified by the provider, providing more than 68,000 different diagnosis codes (Smiley, 2015). The Healthcare Common Procedure Coding System (HCPCS), is a two-level coding system that identifies health care procedures, equipment,…

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…
