World's First All-Robotic Surgery, Featuring Surgeon DaVinci and Anaesthetist McSleepy
"Collaboration between DaVinci, a surgical robot, and anaesthetic robot McSleepy, seemed an obvious fit; robots in medicine can provide health care of higher safety and precision, thus ultimately improving outcomes," said Dr. TM Hemmerling of McGill University and MUHC's Department of Anaesthesia.
"The DaVinci allows us to work from a workstation operating surgical instruments with delicate movements of our fingers with a precision that cannot be provided by humans alone," said Dr. A. Aprikian.
He and his team of surgeons operate the robotic arms from a dedicated workstation via video control with unsurpassed 3D HD image quality.
"Automated anaesthesia delivery via McSleepy guarantees the same high quality of care every time it is used, independent from the subjective level of expertise. It can be configured exactly to the specific needs of different surgeries, such as robotic surgery," said Hemmerling.
"Obviously, there is still some work needed to perfect the all robotic approach - from technical aspects to space requirements for the robots," he added.
