The Da Vinci Xi Robotic Surgical System and Robotic-Assisted solution for Total Knee Replacement were introduced at the right time of their development to enhance MIOT’s medical technology and improve patient outcomes. The Da Vinci Xi Robotic Surgical System is designed to perform general surgeries from the neck to the abdomen, whereas the Robotic-Assisted Total Knee Replacement is specifically used for total knee replacement surgeries.

Da Vinci Xi Robotic Surgical System

Robotic surgery is an advanced form of minimally invasive or laparoscopic (small incision) surgery in which surgeons perform the surgery using a computer-controlled robot, with the surgeon having complete control of the robotic system. This technology allows complex surgeries that require high precision to be performed safely without damaging surrounding tissues or organs. Robotic technology enhances precision, minimises surgical complications, and improves patient outcomes. This technology ensures a high level of safety for patients undergoing over 140 different types of surgeries. The enhanced safety of patients is further increased by the Robotics-Assisted Intraoperative Ultrasound System. The transducer of this advanced ultrasound system, placed inside the body, provides high-resolution images with great anatomical details during surgery. These real-time images are captured from all angles with full robotic articulation. It provides greater accuracy and precision to ensure the identification of the entire tumour surface for complete tumour resection.

Concerning Factors of Surgery

No More Fear of Surgery: People often delay surgery due to concerns about safety, recovery, and regaining quality of life. This may worsen their condition and eventually lead to critical health issues. However, these fears can now be alleviated with the use of Robotic Surgery.

Robotic technology provides a great comfort for the surgeons. The surgeon sits in the surgeon console and performs the surgery. This eliminates their fatigue and improves their performance. This not only reduces the risk of errors but also improves overall patient outcomes, making surgery safer and more effective.

The advancements include

Robotic mechanical wrists bend and rotate, mimicking the movements of the human wrist, allowing surgeons to operate in narrow spaces in the body that would otherwise only be accessible through open (long incision) surgery.
The 3D HD camera, placed within a few inches of the organ, enhances visualisation and enables more precise dissection.
The 10 times enlarged view enables MIOT’s experts to perform highly precise and accurate dissections. The above combination of vision and precision is beyond human capabilities.
Firefly technology involves injecting a dye into the patient, which helps distinguish abnormal tissue from normal tissue. This enables surgeons to visually assess blood flow within the tissues.

Robotics-assisted intraoperative ultrasound system The success of surgery largely depends on an accurate diagnosis. Diagnostic imaging is typically performed a day or even a week before surgery. The actual size or depth of a tumour or other abnormality may change by the time of the procedure, potentially impacting the surgical outcome. This advanced Robotics-Assisted Intraoperative Ultrasound System aids surgeons by allowing them to locate and accurately visualise anatomical abnormalities in real-time during surgery. It helps precisely identify the tumour’s location, depth, and borders, making it easier to distinguish between the tumour and normal tissue.

  • Free Yourself from Financial Worries: MIOT understands the unique needs of patients and is dedicated to providing them with the best treatment. Advanced care doesn’t have to come with a high price. By adopting world-class innovations, MIOT offers cutting-edge robotic technology at an affordable cost. Additionally, by minimising complications and shortening hospital stays, this technology reduces overall healthcare expenses, making it accessible to all patients.
  • Regaining Quality of Life: Shorter hospital stays and faster recovery times enable patients to return to their daily lives and loved ones more quickly, reducing stress for both patients and their families.
  • Shorter Recovery Times: People may feel anxious about the longer recovery time and the emotional drain post-surgery. However, in robotic surgery, the smaller incisions, reduced blood loss, pain, risk of complications, and decreased rate of infection lead to shorter hospital stays and faster recovery times than traditional surgical methods.
  • Minimising Blood Loss: This advanced technology helps prevent the dissection of unintended small blood vessels, thereby minimising blood loss effectively.
  • Diminishing Scars and Pain: This technology involves smaller incisions and gentle dissection, resulting in less tissue trauma and reduced pain. It is equipped with a remote centre control that prevents side-to-side force on the tissue, further minimising pain and scarring.

How Does Robotic Surgery Score Over Laparoscopic Surgery?

LAPAROSCOPY

ROBOTIC SURGERY

Less-Magnified 2D View: The surgeon manually controls the instruments and views the surgical site using a 2D camera. 10 Times Magnified 3D View: The surgery is performed with robotic tools and is aided by a binocular lens and a 3D HD camera.
No Tremor Filter: The tremors in the surgeon’s hand movements are not f iltered out. Tremors Are Filtered Out: The motions are scaled and tremors are filtered out, enhancing the surgical precision.
Difficult to Access Complex Locations: The laparoscopic ultrasound can not reach difficult angles. Access Complex Locations: The surgeons can locate and visualise anatomical abnormalities during surgery with great precision. The transducer fully articulates to reach complex angles.
Less Depth Perception: Unable to accurately assess the tumour’s depth. Better Depth Perception: The 3D HD camera and advanced ultrasound system enable surgeons to better understand the depth perception of the tumour.
Chances of Failure Rate are More: With lower image resolution and reduced precision, the chances of failure are higher compared to robotic surgery. Enhances Patient Outcomes: Accurate dissection, complete tumour resection, minimal pain, and decreased risk of infection enhance better patient outcomes.
More Blood Loss: The risk of dissecting unintended blood vessels is higher with a less magnified view, resulting in greater blood loss. Less Blood Loss: The gentle and accurate dissection prevents dissecting the unintended small blood vessels, resulting in less blood loss.
More Pain: The instruments are rotated during the procedure, which applies pressure on the incision point, resulting in more pain. Minimal Pain: It is designed in a way that allows the robotic tools to rotate around the fixed point at the incision site. The remote centre technology prevents the side-to-side force applied during surgery, thereby minimising the damage to the body and reducing pain and scarring.
Laparoscopy may be challenging or unsuitable for certain conditions. Those complex procedures that were not feasible with traditional laparoscopy and would have to be performed in an open manner, can now be performed robotically and minimally invasively.

How is Robotic Surgery Performed?

The robotic surgical system consists of a surgeon console, patient cart, and vision cart. The surgeon console is equipped with hand controls and foot pedals, where the surgeon sits, controls and operates the robotic arms. The patient cart holds the robotic arms, which are positioned on the operating table according to the type of surgery. The surgical assistant stands next to the patient to change the endowrist instruments in the robotic arms as needed. The vision cart includes a monitor that displays the surgical site inside the patient’s body.

The surgeon sits in the console and views the surgical area through the binocular lens, which provides a 10 times magnified view of what the human eye sees. Using hand controls, endowrist instruments are operated. The surgeon’s hand movements are precisely replicated by the endowrist instruments inside the patient’s body. This technology enables surgeons to differentiate between normal and cancerous tissue and live and dead tissue. It also ensures that cancer tumours are completely removed.

Who is Recommended to Undergo Robotic-Assisted Knee Replacement?

It is recommended for patients suffering from knee osteoarthritis who have a fear of undergoing surgery. This state-of-the-art technology enables surgeons to perform the surgery with minimal soft tissue damage, thereby helping patients recover faster without much surgical pain.

Asian patients, in particular, are advised to undergo robotic surgery due to the high prevalence of bowing of long bones among them.

For patients who are over 70 years of age, this technology helps reduce the risk of fat embolism. Younger patients under 50 with arthritis also benefit from robotic surgery, as it increases the lifespan of implants.

Robotic assistance also helps surgeons to operate on patients who are obese, morbidly obese, or those who already have implants in their thigh or leg bones, without compromising on accuracy and outcomes.
