Turkish surgeons perform successful robot-assisted brain surgery

Turkish surgeons perform successful robot-assisted brain surgery

Surgeons from Ankara University’s Ibn Sina Hospital have efficiently carried out the primary two mind surgical procedures on the planet utilizing robotic intervention by way of the cranium on intracranial tissue with the Da Vinci robotic.

The surgical procedures have been carried out in specifically designed working rooms by Dr. Umir Eroğlu, the mind and nerve surgical procedure school member, underneath the chairmanship of professor Dr. Şükrü Çağlar, the pinnacle of the neurosurgery division on the Faculty of Medicine at Ankara University.

Speaking to Anadolu Agency (AA), Eroğlu recalled that the Ankara University neurosurgery staff had began the robotic surgical procedure operations, significantly intraoral, 5 years in the past and has since operated on quite a few sufferers.

Noting that within the acknowledged interval, robot-assisted surgical procedure as a way has been practiced worldwide, particularly in spinal surgical procedures, Eroğlu stated that the newly developed applied sciences began to take away the constraints when it comes to surgical procedures, as docs with the brand new robotic instruments at the moment are in a position to carry out higher surgical procedures.

“We started to use robotic surgery in brain surgeries in our clinic. After opening the cranium with the routine method, we used the Da Vinci robot to conduct the surgery. Thus, we have successfully implemented the first brain surgery in the world in which this method was used,” Eroğlu stated.

Providing info on the small print of surgical procedures performed with the Da Vinci robotic, Eroğlu stated one of many operations was on an arachnoid cyst within the mind and the opposite was a tumor near the mind tissue.

Emphasizing some great benefits of robotic-assisted mind surgical procedures, Eroğlu burdened the precision of the robotic instruments as they’re able to extra exact actions than palms. He additionally added that the acknowledged methodology is efficient in appropriate circumstances.

Eroğlu additionally stated that the groundbreaking end result of the surgical procedure will quickly be revealed in one of many top-tier neurosurgery journals. Stating that that they had elevated the variety of surgical procedures for the reason that first operation 5 years in the past, Eroğlu opined that the event in neurosurgery and different surgical procedures will shift towards hybrid surgical procedures.

Stating that the aim of the event of the Da Vinci robotic is to function on astronauts in house, Eroğlu stated 7G expertise is required to implement this.

“The future is heading toward this. In the near future, a surgeon from Türkiye will be able to operate on a patient in the Netherlands.” Explaining that they’re writing a thesis on telesurgery and analysis and growth (R&D) research on this path, Eroğlu additionally stated that the acknowledged expertise requires monetary sources and technological infrastructure, including: “We may not be at that stage yet, but we are working on it.”

Meanwhile, Dr. Şükrü Çağlar famous their groups performed hourslong preparations forward of the surgical procedure. “We can call it a hybrid robot. This method should be seen as the technology of the future,” he stated.
