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.

Download or read book An Update to the Proficiency Benchmarks for Surgical Simulation Training in Laparoscopy at Oregon Health and Science University written by and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 29 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the field of medicine, especially surgery, progresses, new challenges in the training of physicians have emerged. While surgical education has been traditionally structured as an apprenticeship-based model, this has proven to be time consuming, costly, and unethical to patients, physicians, and medical institutions alike. One solution that has arisen due to the need for balancing safety with education is the usage of simulation-based training. Simulation has become an accepted and valued way of training physicians due to its assurance of safe, scheduled, targeted, and objective training for the learner, as well as safe and efficient clinical experiences for patients. Oregon Health and Science University (OHSU), along with every other accredited surgical residency program in the United States, has integrated a skills lab into their general surgery curriculum due to a 2008 mandate issued by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME). The surgical simulation skills lab at OHSU is titled VirtuOHSU. A core part of VirtuOHSU's curriculum involves the training of basic laparoscopic skills. As simulation-based training was established, there was not a clear development of a standardized training curriculum for laparoscopic surgery and thus there has been a significant gap in the discourse's understanding of what proficiency metric is considered adequate for laparoscopic surgery training. In 2008, the OHSU general surgery residency program adopted proficiency levels from a study done by Drs. E. Matt Ritter and Daniel J. Scott of the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center. For the past six years, VirtuOHSU has used these standards to evaluate their general surgery residents. The goal of this paper was to evaluate the validity of the standard used at VirtuOHSU. My research suggests, that due to the arbitrary nature of these standards, the current proficiency benchmarks are not an effective way of evaluating the skill level of surgical residents trained at OHSU. In July 2014, OHSU's Department of Surgery will adopt the ACGME Milestones Project and moving forward with this project it will be necessary to determine what is acceptable competency standards for laparoscopic surgery training. The results found, in the data collection part of this work, guided the creation of new laparoscopic proficiency benchmarks for each program year level of general surgery residents. In the future, the correlation between simulation skills lab performance and actual operative performance will be examined.

Download or read book Robotic Assisted Minimally Invasive Surgery written by Shawn Tsuda and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-10-31 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Minimally invasive surgery has impacted the outcomes of surgery more than any technology since the development of sterile technique. The hard science has demonstrated that decrease in wound complications and recovery time has created the biggest gap with open approaches to surgery. The total economic benefit may be unfathomable when looked at comprehensively. Integral to the rise of minimal access and therapeutic techniques in surgery has been the growth of technological improvements over time. Beginning with insufflators, videoscopy, and energy devices, that evolution has continued into the development of tele-surgical devices that feature full articulation of instruments, high-resolution 3-D optics, and computer assisted movement. This has come with controversy – as the dominant manufacturer of robotic assisted devices, Intuitive Surgical, and their generations of da Vinci surgical platforms, holds enough market share to spur cries of monopoly and financial excess. However, with over 3000 world-wide systems in use, and over 6000 peer-reviewed research articles, the impact of robotic surgery cannot be ignored. The current state of data suggests equivalency in most procedures with regard to traditional outcome measures, equal or somewhat elevated costs, with specific areas of superiority. The first section of this textbook, Surgical Robots, covers the history, economics, training, and medico-legal aspects of robotic surgery that will be of interest to students, residents, fellows, surgical staff, and administrators or public health specialists who seek to gain a comprehensive background on robotic surgery, or justification for purchasing a robotic system for their institution. Surgeons will also find this background valuable to their practice, to give context to their procedures so they can better counsel their patients, help with advocating for robotic platform purchases, and proactively prepare themselves for medico-legal issues. The chapter on legal issues will have specific instances of robotic surgery-related lawsuits and their outcomes, a first for robotic surgery texts. The second section of this textbook, Robotic Procedures, will contain a comprehensive catalogue of procedures that have been performed robotically in general surgery, gynecology, urology, plastic surgery, cardiothoracic, and otolaryngology. Each author will cover the existing literature, preoperative planning, room and patient setup, steps of the procedure, and postoperative care. Standardized room maps and port placement will help the student, resident, fellow, surgeon or OR Staff to quickly reference these before cases. Each chapter will also cover the specific equipment needs and expected complexity of the procedures, allowing administrators to better gauge how to prepare for, or ration, use or their robotic resources. The final section, Future of Robotics, will give the entire scope of audience a look into what exciting advancements in the field are on the horizon. This textbook is a complete resource for robotic-assisted minimally invasive surgery, covering the history, current state, technical and clinical aspects, and future considerations that may be of interest to any who has a role, stake, or curiosity regarding robotic surgery.
