The present study, through a bibliographic research, has the intention to highlighting relevance of nursing professional in Material and Sterilization Center hospital institutions. Understanding that CME corresponds "heart" hospital, role nurses working this space is paramount importance, given their responsibility participation, coordination, execution, supervision evaluation all stages proces...

Robotic surgery has greatly improved surgeon dexterity and ergonomics but has substantially increased the number and size of ports required. The typical robotic surgical procedure will use three 8-mm ports and two 12-mm ports. Single-port laparoscopy, also known as Laparo-Endoscopic Single Site (LESS) surgery, is an attempt to further enhance cosmetic benefits and reduce morbidity of minimally ...

ROBOTIC SURGERY AND TELE-SURGERY: BASIC PRINCIPLES AND DESCRIPTION OF A NOVEL CONCEPT (Abstract): One of the most important advances in surgical technology in the last two decades of the twentieth century is represented by the introduction of the laparoscopic technique. Using the laparoscopic approach the patient is operated through keyhole incisions as opposed to long, traumatic incisions over...

OBJECTIVE Computer (robotic) enhancement has been used to facilitate simple thoracoscopic procedures such as internal mammary artery (IMA) mobilization. This report describes the use of robotic technology in advanced thoracoscopic procedures. METHODS Ten patients underwent advanced thoracoscopic procedures utilizing the Da Vinci robotic surgical system (Intuitive Surgical, Mountain View, CA) ...

BACKGROUND There currently exist several training modules to improve performance during video-assisted surgery. The unique characteristics of robotic surgery make these platforms an inadequate environment for the development and assessment of robotic surgical performance. METHODS Expert surgeons (n=4) (>50 clinical robotic procedures and >2 years of clinical robotic experience) were compared ...

Minimally invasive robot-assisted surgery is a technological development that has changed the field of medicine in the past decade. The introduction of the da Vinci® by Intuitive Surgical Inc. has opened up many interesting options in several different fields. Specifically, the field of urology has seen increased utilization of the robotic technique due to the precision allowed by the technolog...

COMPUTATIONAL MODELING APPROACHES FOR TASK ANALYSIS INROBOTIC-ASSISTED SURGERYbyMAHTAB JAHANBANI FARDMay 2016Advisor: Dr. R. Darin Ellis Major: Industrial Engineering Degree: Doctor of Philosophy Surgery is continuously subject to technological innovations including the introduction ofrobotic surgical devices. The ultimate goal is to program the surgical robot to perform...

Robotic surgical systems are among the most complex medical cyberphysical systems on the market. Despite significant improvements in design of those systems through the years, there have been ongoing occurrences of safety incidents that negatively impact patients during procedures. This paper presents an approach for systems-theoretic safety assessment of robotic telesurgical systems using soft...

In Robot-assisted Minimally Invasive Surgery (RMIS), robotic tools enter the body through narrow openings and manipulate soft organs that can move, deform, or change in stiffness. The traditional robotic manipulation concepts that rely on fixed stiffness distributions, such as the da Vinci Robotic System, have limitations on these laparoscopic and robot-assisted surgical procedures due to restr...
