Robotic Surgical Technology
Robotic Surgery is innovative and frightening to most people because it uses machines, or robots. These robots are complex and require a good deal of training. The main operating machines, the da Vinci System and the ZEUS Surgical System use three surgical arms. The ZEUS System has two main operating arms, which contain tools for incisions and for the surgery. For example, small cutters are used in Gallbladder surgery to cut the Gallbladder out. The other arm on the ZEUS is a digital high quality 3D camera. The camera and video system that the surgeon operates on have to be within .2 seconds of each other. If the video is not streamed in real time, then the error percentage increases dramatically.
