The robot is first stitched the human blood vessels
Robot surgeon developed by Dutch scientists, was tested on humans. The robotic system, designed for microsurgery, can work with capillaries with a diameter of a millimeter.
MUSA robotic system developed to restore lost tissues. With the help of MUSA specialists are able to repair capillaries with a diameter of 0.3-0.8 millimeters. Of course, there are surgeons people who can perform such work, but they are very few, because it requires huge experience, wrote.
The system was developed by Dutch company MicroSure supported Eindhovensche technological University, after which she was experienced specialists of the Medical center of Maastricht University.
MUSA has performed surgery on 20 patientswho undergo reconstruction after breast cancer. The robot has proven that it can perform the operation no worse than a man.
Interestingly, during the intervention MUSA copied the movements of the leading surgeon to repeat manipulation on a smaller scale. In addition, the built-in algorithms analyze the trajectory of the hands and automatically filter out any random twitching. Watching the image from the microscope, the doctor controlled the game.
The outcome of the MUSA failed after 3.5 months, when all patients fully recovered. Doctors have assessed their condition of blood vessels and noted that the quality of the welds, which caused the robot is no worse than experienced surgeons. However, the time the surgery took about 115 minutes, whereas a skilled surgeon would take about 81 minutes.
