Robotic Assistant Surgeon in Laparoscopic Surgery Robolens
RoboLens Robotic Assistant Surgeon in Laparoscopic Surgery (Bedside Model) is a robotic surgical system that, as the surgeon's third hand in laparoscopic surgery, is responsible for carrying and maintaining the laparoscopic camera and taking images during laparoscopic surgery. In conventional laparoscopic surgery, an assistant surgeon is responsible for this task. The presence of human factors, including fatigue of the person holding the camera and the possibility of his error in obtaining an image of the surgical site, has been raised as one of the main factors for replacing him with a robotic arm. This arm is under the direct control of the surgeon and receives movement commands from the movements of the surgeon's legs or hands. It is also possible for the surgeon to talk to the robot and control the robot through voice commands. In addition, the system has the ability to track surgical instruments using image processing and can move in any direction the surgical instrument moves without the need for a surgeon's command and always capture images in such a way that the surgical instrument is in the center of the image of the operating site.
This robot has been designed and manufactured in two different models. The bedside model is a model that is connected to the general surgical bed and can move seamlessly with the surgical bed and participate in general surgical operations on the soft and mobile viscera of the abdominal cavity and, when necessary, move to the sides with the surgical bed without stopping during the surgical process.
