Robotics in Surgery
1 Birdcage Walk
www.imeche.org/events/s1505
Surgical robots find increasing uses as surgeons demand more
accuracy but with smaller incisions. First generation robots were
large machines based on industrial arms. Numbers of these are still
in daily clinical use.
Today’s second generation robots are hand-sized. They are bespoke
designs for specific tasks. They allow new procedures that are not
practicable by hand and eye.
New sensors, real time imaging and miniature mechanisms offer even
more uses for surgical robots. Tiny tools under image-guidance can
place cochlear implants to treat profound deafness. Snake
manipulators can navigate to disease sites within the abdomen
without leaving scars. Micro-scale technology is being used to
design swimming and crawling robots. These can move freely within
body cavities. Examples of all these devices are undergoing
laboratory trials.
This one-day seminar features leading researchers in the UK and
Europe discussing their latest work. It will appeal to surgeons
wishing to refresh their knowledge. It will interest medical device
manufacturers looking for new market opportunities. Of course it
will also attract present and future researchers to survey the
scene, exchange ideas and form links for future work.Who
should attend?
- Academic researchers in medical robotics and image guided
surgery
- Medical device industry business development managers
- Medical device industry design engineers
- NHS hospital and theatre managers
- Surgeons involved in laparoscopy and minimal access surgery
- Surgeons involved in image guided surgery and navigation
- Medical students
- Engineering students
Why should I attend?
In recent years the technology of medical robotics has moved on
markedly. Those involved or interested in this field will be able to
learn about new techniques which are in the course of development
and will become the clinical gold standard of tomorrow. These new
ideas are likely to have profound effects on clinical practice,
instrumentation design, economic justification and patient outcomes.
Those who practise surgery or supply technology will want to be
aware of these changes so they can plan intelligently for the
future. |
