Robotic prostate cancer surgery. Remotely controlled arms of a Da Vinci robot surgeon being used to remove a carcinoma (cancer) from the prostate gland of a 70-year-old man. The patient is partially visible, with the laparoscopes inserted through incisions in his abdomen. The rest of the footage shows a surgeon at the console of the Da Vinci robot surgeon being used to control the laparoscopes. A surgical monitoring device appears, along with a screen showing the actual surgery taking place. The removal of all or part of the prostate gland is called a prostatectomy. Da Vinci is a remote-controlled surgical system, developed and produced by the US company Intuitive Surgical. It has four robotic arms that carry tools specific to the operation and other more general surgical implements for procedures such as suturing (stitching) and clamping. A specially trained surgeon operates the system from an ergonomically designed console using remote joysticks with force-feedback. For footage from this operation, see clips K003/3338 to K003/3342 and K003/3343 to K003/3352. | |
