Intro
Hello guys ,
I wanted to share an interesting leap in medical field , and it is emerging as a new trend in many parts of the world. I heard about this 4 years ago in a medical conference and i have been following it on the web since.
It was used in western countries mostly in the prior years but now they have entered our very own country and you can see its installment in every corporate hospital and on their respective hoardings in metro cities.
What is it called ??
It is The Da Vinci Robotic Surgical System.

What It Does ???
Davinci is basically like a Video Game console and you can see from the image it has 4 arms.
The first aligns the instrument in the operating area and then he sits infront of the console box.
The console box has 4 sleeves for the fingers to step in and with 2 fingers from each hand you could control the movement of all the arms of davinci, sounds good isnt it !!!

The console has a microscope which lets you see through it the operating area , and it infact magnifies the area , so you can have a bright , pixel perfect image of what you are cutting through.
The best benefit is the virtual screen that makes you navigate through the operating area and you can adjust the area.
All the four arms can be controlled at a time and this lessens the man-power in operating theater setting.
The benefit what the makers say that minimally invasive surgical procedures are best achieved with it which is actually true.
This means the size of the cut wound in surgery is very less than what normal is performed manually.
so the surgeon gets benefit of exact vision, precision and control of things.
What Surgeries can be carried out ???
The information was very limited but from my knowledge it is widely used in Gynecological and Renal (Kidney based) surgeries.
other areas include , prostrate , thyroid etc.
The outcome was maximally successful and hopefully in future we could get it expanded to uncovered areas of Cardiac and Neural surgeries that need immaculate vision and hours from your watch.
Wanna get operated or Buy it ???
The surgeries are performed on requirement basis in big hospital setup, and the surgery is very expensive compared to its normal counterpart.Lets say 3 times more, for a value.
This sounds some kinda freaky , but yes if you can spill out some 4-5 Cr. on it like jelly beans you can get one for you working.
Our corporate guys are running behind it so they can charge more from their patients as we humans have fantasy for something more sophisticated rather than normal.
So this is all i wanted to share about the Robotics in surgery and medicine ,
Thanks for reading this,
