Description of the Technology

In today’s society the market for new inventions is based primarily on the demand for the product verses the cost to produce and uses the product. Robotic surgical equipment is costly to purchase, plus the cost of cross training the surgeons on the machine. This is one of the reasons robotics have been slow to enter the medical field and once created slow to be utilized over the current standard medical procedures. The most well-known surgical medical robots are Da Vinci and Zeus. Less well known are the catheter based robots; Sensei X systems, Magellan systems, and NIOBE magnetic navigation systems.

    The healthcare industry is growing and technology is the way it is leading. Just recently the new electronic media has been introduced for the clinics, pharmacies, hospitals and doctor offices to use. What is next well what is next is all the newer technology that will start hitting surgical rooms such as the robotic. Robotic surgery is going to be less invasive for the patient which also means faster recovery time (da Vinci Surgery, 2012). Robotic surgery has been adopted rather quickly since 2007 over 205,000 surgeries have been done. Around the world da Vinci Robotic systems are being installed in hospitals (Barbash, M.D & Giled, Ph. D., 2010). There are quite a few surgeries that are eligible for this new technology of robotic such as prostate cancer, nerve sparing, cystectomy, and urinary, partial nephrectomy for kidney cancer, adrenalectomy for adrenal cancer and for lymph node dissection which is for testicular cancer (Stanford Hospital and Clinics, 2012).…

    The United States is the land of opportunity and competition, so in order for robotics in healthcare to succeed it must make sense financially. Robot-assisted surgery is sometimes considered to be the most expensive form of surgery due to the cost of the robotic system, but that is not true when the indirect costs of robot-assisted surgery are also considered. Landeen et al. studied the cost effectiveness of the four methods of hysterectomy, and they concluded robot-assisted hysterectomy was the least expensive approach when the cost of the robotic system was excluded and disposable equipment was kept below $1,496 per case (197, 208). In addition, the indirect financial effect of lower morbidity, shorter hospital stay, and fewer post-operation…

    Fast pace, excitement, and blood are a few descriptive words used to describe a surgical technologist. A surgical technologist is part of a team in the operating room that assist the surgeon during an operation. The surgical technologist can referred to as scrub tech or surgical tech. In the operating room there is no room for eras, so details are key to successes. There is not a lot of writing in the surgically technologist field, but the small amount of writing that is done would be considered informative because it is tells step by step process on how a process is done.

    I chose the career of Surgical Tech for several reasons. I’ve always wanted to be in the medical field in some way. As a kid I always said I wanted to be a brain surgeon. I was also in a car accident at the age of seven where I went through the windshield of the car and my forehead was cut open and had a lot of glass embedded in it. I was pictures of during and after where they had to pull the skin back and remove glass and clean and such. Instead of thinking “ewe, gross” like most seven year olds I, instead thought it was cool.…

    GENICON was a U.S.-based firm that manufactured and distributed medical devices used in laparoscopic surgery (Kupetz et al., 2010, p. 1). Because laparoscopy could reduce trauma to the skin and muscles and post-operative pain and this led to shorter hospital stays and recovery times, minimally invasive surgery (MIS) became more popular than traditional open techniques (Kupetz et al., 2010, p. 2).…

    There is a room known as the “E-Hub” which can connect social media and other online components to the hospital. This is very useful when outbreaks occur because doctors can check to see where each patient ate recently to see if there is any overlap. Also, the E-Hub allows doctors to monitor their patients’ vital signs at home and alert both the doctor and the patient when something isn’t right. The introduction to robotics in surgical procedures plays a big role. Other procedures include neural pacemaker implantation to control seizing and treating burn patients by replicating human cells and layering them through a process known as bioprinting. Pure Genius also focuses on the treatment of terminal illnesses such as cancer the neurodegenerative disease Gerstmann-Straussler-Scheinker…

    Robotics in thoracic surgery definitely does make a difference in the operating room, although it still requires skills and duties in order to be successful at this career. Some job duties include good manual dexterity, good judgement on what to do on sudden decisions, and to not be afraid of the gore of surgery. Manual dexterity is one of the most general skills of being any type of surgeon, having tolerance of the gore, and good judgement on what to do in emergency situations. More requirements besides the job duties and skills are the educational requirements.…
