CIRUJANO ESPECIALISTA [1 record]

Record 1 2026-04-09

English

Subject field(s)
  • Applications of Automation
  • Medical and Surgical Equipment
CONT

Robots used for surgery offer the potential for safer and less invasive procedures to be performed. A surgical robot may be set up next to the surgeon to assist, or may eliminate the need of a surgeon in the operating room altogether.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Automatisation et applications
  • Équipement médico-chirurgical
CONT

Les robots chirurgicaux peuvent être autonomes, «comanipulés» ou relever de la «télémanipulation», le cas le plus courant. Ainsi, les robots chirurgicaux sont pilotés par des chirurgiens, décisionnaires, qui conduisent l'action de bras manipulateurs avec une caméra endoscopique et des instruments chirurgicaux. Ils bénéficient d'une visualisation en trois dimensions afin d'obtenir une plus grande rapidité et une précision accrue.

Spanish

Campo(s) temático(s)
  • Automatización y aplicaciones
  • Equipo médico y quirúrgico
CONT

El robot quirúrgico no es como se muestra en las películas de ciencia ficción. No toma decisiones por sí mismo, no opera solo, no sustituye al cirujano y no actúa sin control humano. Lo cierto es que se trata de una herramienta de alta precisión al servicio del especialista, y se ha incorporado en intervenciones urológicas, ginecológicas y torácicas.
