Topic: Robotic Surgery: The
New Future of Surgery?
Executive Summary
This paper serves to explore
the potential feasibility and success of using robotic-systems in surgical
procedures. This paper will not only address the historical development of
robotic surgery, but also examine the current and future advantages and
challenges of the technique.
Background Information
This section will introduce
the concept of robotically-assisted surgery and provide a brief explanation of
its application in surgical processes. The ability of this technique in
enhancing the capabilities of surgeons and overcoming the shortcomings of
laparoscopic surgery will also be addressed.
Historical Perspective
The evolvement of technology
in surgical processes will be touched upon here. This section begins from the
major benefits introduced to the field of surgery by the replacement of
traditional surgical procedures with minimally-invasive surgical methods, or
laparoscopy. It then moves on to the augmentation of laparoscopy through
developments in robotic surgery.
Current Situation
The current scope of
application, and present advantages of robotically-assisted surgical procedures in the
surgical field will be covered in this section. Current limitations will be addressed in this section too.
Future Considerations
This section explores the
potential benefits and progress of this surgical procedure along with the
obstacles in its development. The issue of whether those limitations can be
surmounted will be discussed here as well.
References
To be determined.
