The Company is combining advanced miniaturized robotics, computer science, sensing and three-dimensional visualization to build a single-port surgical robot, called the Vicarious Surgical System.

Surgical Robots are Getting Better Faster

Context:

Robots have been working in the manufacturing industry since the 1950s, but their entry into the realm of medicine was not until the 1990s, along with a demand for minimally invasive surgery.

Since then, the growth of the robotics industry, and the emergence of artificial intelligence (AI) technology, have driven advances in robotic surgery.

Robotic systems in medicine are relatively new, with the first arriving in just 1994.

urgical Robotic companies are going to get a lot better this decade. I asked Conrad for a further adaptation on what of his deep devices into the future of medical and surgical robotics.

Meet Your New Surgeon–A Robot

By Conrad Gray

Do you remember that viral video of a surgical robot stitching a grape back together? That video was uploaded almost 10 years ago. Since then, the field of robotic surgery grew massively in terms of capabilities, investments and the number of robots deployed across the world.

These sophisticated medical machines promise to make surgeries less invasive, accelerate the recovery and healing process, and help patients to return to their normal lives more quickly. Surgeons, meanwhile, are offered a new way of performing surgeries with robots that provide unprecedented access to the human body and tools that feel like extensions of their own hands. Hospitals can benefit from increased patient turnaround and from the perception of being at the forefront of medical technology by having some of the most advanced medical devices available.

At least that’s what the advocates of surgical robots say.

In this article, we will explore the world of robotic-assisted surgery, what difference the surgical robots promise to make and meet nine companies, both established medical giants as well as young startups, innovating in this space.

The robot surgeons enter the operating room

It is needless to say that traditional surgeries are highly invasive procedures. To perform an operation, a surgeon must first make a large incision, wide enough to accommodate the surgeon's hands and tools, to access the problematic body part. Afterwards, the patient must recover from the surgery, a process that can be lengthy, painful, and uncomfortable.

To address the problems of traditional open surgery, surgeons invented laparoscopic surgeries (also known as keyhole surgeries). In laparoscopic surgeries, small incisions (usually 0.5–1.5 cm) are made in the abdomen to insert thin tubes with specialized instruments as well as tubes with a camera and light at the end. Because laparoscopic surgeries eliminate the need for large incisions, the recovery is quicker and less painful compared to traditional open surgery.
