Computer-assisted surgery, also known as robotic surgery or computer-navigated surgery, is a type of surgery that uses advanced technology to improve the precision and accuracy of surgical procedures. During computer-assisted surgery, a surgeon uses a computer-controlled device to make small, precise movements that would be difficult or impossible to achieve with the human hand alone. The device is typically controlled by the surgeon using a console, and is guided by data from imaging technologies such as CT or MRI scans.
Computer-assisted surgery is used in a variety of surgical specialties, including orthopedics, neurosurgery, and urology. It allows for smaller incisions, less blood loss, and faster recovery times for the patient. In some cases, computer-assisted surgery can also be performed using minimally invasive techniques, which can reduce the risk of complications and improve outcomes.
One example of computer-assisted surgery is da Vinci Surgical System, it is a robotic surgical system that allows surgeons to perform complex procedures through small incisions. The system uses robotic arms to perform the surgery, while the surgeon controls the movements from a console. This allows for greater precision and flexibility during the procedure, and can result in shorter recovery times for the patient.
It’s important to note that computer-assisted surgery is not suitable for all procedures and patients, and the surgeon’s expertise and experience play an important role in the success of the procedure.
Modern clips offer a quick solution for closing small defects, but are limited by their size and rely on mucosal fixation. Using multiple clips to close a larger defect becomes costly and does not …
