Sinai Robotic Surgery Training System Flex Model
Robotic surgery, a form of minimally invasive surgery (MIS), also known as robot-assisted minimally invasive surgery, is a modern surgical procedure that is very similar to laparoscopic surgery and is performed by making small holes (usually between 5 and 10 mm) in the abdominal cavity and inserting rod-shaped instruments into the abdomen in the desired area. Unlike laparoscopic surgery, in robotic surgery, the instruments are held by special robots and the surgeon sends movement commands to the instruments electronically and remotely through a surgical console.
The Sinai Robotic Surgery System Flex Model is actually a complex robotic platform designed and built to perform complex surgeries with a minimally invasive approach. The figure opposite shows an overview of the Flex parts. This system consists of three main parts called the Master Side subsystem, the Slave Side subsystem, and the control software.
The Master Side subsystem, which will be introduced in more detail below, consists of two main parts: the Master Console and the Power Unit. The Follower Subsystem also consists of three robotic arms (Slave I, Slave II, Camera Arm), the Bed, the Power Unit, and the Kiosk, which will be introduced in detail below. The communication between the Master and Follower subsystems is possible via the Internet. Therefore, the expert surgeon can perform surgery on the patient, located in a remote location.
