Robot surgeon sews grape

Robot Da Vinci surgeon sewed shot back with grape skin using surgical needle and thread. Video made to show the ability of the robot to do complex operations with a jeweler's precision.



Robot for remote operations Da Vinci began using in the late 1990s. The surgeon controls the robot, sitting at a special remote control. This control includes a "virtual reality glasses" - the surgeon sees the volumetric portion of the operation. Initially it had to work with an ordinary flat image, but the problem was solved later with the help of technology of shooting in 3D.

The accuracy of the system can reduce blood loss during surgery. "Hands" is not a robot shaking like the hands of a living physician that allows the surgeon to operate more efficiently. But in the last few years robots manufacturer - the company Intuitive Surgical - were filed several lawsuits on the subject of post-operative complications and fatalities. In one of the lawsuits the company was accused of using the system for less skilled surgeons.

At the moment, all over the world operate 3,000 systems Da Vinci, about 20 of them - in Russian. Most installed in the US.
