2004 DEC 27 - (NewsRx.com & NewsRx.net) -- Researchers review robotic abdominal surgery, including surgery for morbid obesity, in a recent issue of the American Journal of Surgery.
"As a whole, abdominal surgeons possess excellent videoendoscopic surgical skills. However, the limitations of laparoscopy-such as reduced range of motion and instrument dexterity and 2-dimensional view of the operative field-have inspired even the most accomplished laparoscopists to investigate the potential of surgical robotics to broaden their application of the minimally invasive surgery paradigm," scientists in the United States report.
"This review discusses data obtained from articles indexed in the MEDLINE database written in English and mapped to the following key words: 'surgical robotics,' 'robotic surgery,' 'robotics,' 'computer-assisted surgery,' 'da Vinci,' 'Zeus,' 'fundoplication,' 'morbid obesity,' 'hepatectomy,' 'pancreatectomy,' 'small intestine,' 'splenectomy,' 'colectomy,' 'adrenalectomy,' and 'pediatric surgery,'" stated Eric J. Hanly and Mark A. Talamini at Johns Hopkins University. "A limited subset of 387 publications was reviewed to determine article relevance to abdominal robotic surgery. Particular emphasis was placed on reports that limited their discussion to human applications and surgical outcomes."
"Included are comments about the initial 202 robotic abdominal surgery cases performed at Johns Hopkins University Hospital from August 2000 to January 2004," reported Hanly and Talamini. "Surgical robotic systems are ...
