Book Simulation in Robotic Surgery  A Comparative Review of Simulators of the Da Vinci Surgical Robot

Download or read book Simulation in Robotic Surgery A Comparative Review of Simulators of the Da Vinci Surgical Robot written by Roger D Smith and published by . This book was released on 2013-05 with total page 54 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For every complex and expensive system, there emerges a need for training devices and scenarios that will assist new learners in mastering the use of the device and understanding how to apply it with value. This has proven to be true in aviation, nuclear power control, and medicine among other fields. Laparoscopic surgery simulators have played a valuable role in improving the practice of surgery over the last 20 years and the same trends and values will likely apply in robotic surgery. The complexity, criticality, and cost associated with the effective application of the da Vinci surgical robot have stimulated the commercial creation of simulators which replicate the operations of this robot. Each of these simulators provides a slightly different perspective and solution to the problem. This book explores the characteristics and differences between all of the currently available devices. The details provided here are structured to equip readers with sufficient knowledge about the simulators to make their own decisions about which best meets their needs. Each of them possesses unique traits which make them valuable solutions for different types of users. It is not our intent to make a universal recommendation of one device over the others. Readers should draw their own conclusions based on their unique needs for a device. The three current simulation devices for the da Vinci robot are the: da Vinci Skills Simulator (Intuitive Surgical Inc.), dV-Trainer (Mimic Technologies Inc.) and Robotic Surgery Simulator (Simulated Surgical Systems LLC). The three simulators which are described in this book offer a different value proposition to potential purchasers and to novice learners. The da Vinci Skills Simulator, dV-Trainer, an RoSS are complex systems which are significantly less costly than the actual da Vinci robotic surgical system and can be operated at a fraction of the cost of the instruments required for this robot. The intent of this book is to present the characteristics of each system to enable intelligent and informed purchasing and usage decisions.

Book Fundamentals of Surgical Simulation

Download or read book Fundamentals of Surgical Simulation written by Anthony G. Gallagher and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2011-08-24 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fundamentals of Surgical Simulation explains in detail, from a behavioural science/human factors perspective, why modern image guided medicine such as surgery, interventional cardiology and interventional radiology are difficult to learn and practice. Medicine is currently at a tipping point in terms of how physicians in procedural based medicine are trained. Fundamentals of Surgical Simulation helps drive this change and is a valuable resource for medical trainers and trainees alike. For trainers, this book gives explicit theoretical and applied information on how this new training paradigm works thus allowing them to tailor the application of simulation training to their program, no matter where in the world they work. For the trainee, it allows them to see and understand the rules of this new training paradigm thus allowing them to optimize their approach to training and reaching proficiency in as efficient a manner as possible. For the simulation researcher, engineer and medical profession Fundamentals of Surgical Simulation poses some difficult questions that require urgent unambiguous and agreed answers.

Book The Route to Patient Safety in Robotic Surgery

Download or read book The Route to Patient Safety in Robotic Surgery written by Lorenzo Grespan and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-12-13 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The introduction of a new technology in a consolidated field has the potential to disrupt usual practices and create a fertile ground for errors. An example is robotic surgery that is now used in most surgical specialties, pushed by technology developers and enthusiastic surgeons. To analyze the potential impact of robotic surgery on patient safety, a consortium of major European Universities started the project SAFROS whose findings are summarized and further elaborated in the three parts of this book. Part one describes safety in complex systems such as surgery, how this may disrupt the traditional surgical workflow, how safety can be monitored, and the research questions that must be posed. Part two of the book describes the main findings of this research, by identifying the risks of robotic surgery and by describing where its ancillary technologies may fail. This part addresses features and evaluation of anatomic imaging and modeling, actions in the operating room, robot monitoring and control, operator interface, and surgical training. Part three of the book draws the conclusions and offers suggestions on how to limit the risks of medical errors. One possible approach is to use automation to monitor and execute parts of an intervention, thus suggesting that robotics and artificial intelligence will be major elements of the operating room of the future.

Book The Training and Assessment of Surgical Skills in Robot Assisted Surgery

Download or read book The Training and Assessment of Surgical Skills in Robot Assisted Surgery written by and published by . This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The introduction of the surgical robot resulted in increasing technical difficulty of these robot assisted surgeries (RAS). The qualification and certification of RAS skills are still in a preliminary phase within all surgical specialties, also in urology. New methods of training for novice surgeons (residents and fellows) in these highly specialised techniques should be implemented to guarantee patient safety. The challenge for novice surgeons is how to learn new surgical procedures and once the procedure is learned and they become experts how to analyse past performances and subsequently use this as a lesson for the future in order to improve postoperative outcome. In the first part of this these we explored the best methods to educate surgeons in robotic surgery. By using different modalities of training, (i.e., hands-on training combined with theoretical information of learning) we discovered (chapter 2) novice robot surgeons were too positive in the self-assessment of their own surgical skills after a training in RAS. To prevent overconfidence biases the novice surgeons should be provided with feedback (proctoring) to inform them about their results to enhance learning and inform them of their competence levels. Although results (chapter 3) show there is no significant difference in the acquisition of surgical skills between different types of proctoring provided to novice surgeons the participant satisfaction seems to be higher in the “human proctoring” group. Which could result in additional motivation for the participant to continue training in RAS. Additional research (chapter 4) shows residents in urology are allowed to perform RAS during their residency, but criteria for starting RAS differ significantly among the teaching hospitals. This shows there is a need for the implementation of a (multi-step) training and certification program in the Dutch urology residency curriculum.
