According to United States food and Drug Administration to retain records show that in the period from 2000 to 2013, Robot Surgeons involved in the operation involving a total of 144 people have been killed. And some form of surgery performed by a robot more risk than other forms of surgery: surgery of the head, neck and thoracic surgery mortality rate, almost 10 times higher than other forms of surgery.
In recent years, robotic surgery there has been a dramatic increase. From 2007 to 2013, only in the United States received more than 1.7 million times the number of robotic surgery, the vast majority are implemented in Gynecology and Urology. Jai Raman and his team at Rush University Medical Center in Chicago, said: "However, the surgical robot operation safety and reliability have not been fully studied. "
So the team are going to through the analysis of accident records saved by the FDA to change this situation, these records include robots in surgery when problems arise in the process of mandatory reporting of accidents, as well as hospitals voluntarily submit reports.
Raman and his team studied more than 10,000 involves surgical procedures report, more than 1500 patients have a significantly negative impact will be described. On average, this means that the rate of adverse events is high.
During this period, a sharp increase in the number of robots perform surgery. Since 2006, the number of deaths and injuries has increased by 30 times, since 2007, but the total number of operations has remained more or less unchanged.
Raman and his team said the types of adverse events are divided into five categories. These categories include: arcing or sparking equipment in the surgery, in the period from 2000 to 2013 a total of 193 cases of burn; Also in other types of accident debris fell into the patient's body, such incidents have taken place more than 100 times, and which resulted in one death; also covers instruments uncontrolled movements, resulting in 52 patients were injured and resulted in two deaths. Lost video feedback system errors of this kind, "contribution" 800 adverse events.
Strange thing is, although the database contains robotic surgery reported 144 deaths, cases are recorded in detail in the case involved only a small fraction. However, in which more than 60% the event was caused by equipment failure, while the other factors of the accident will be operated by doctor errors and risks inherent in the operation.
This is an interesting study, for those patients who underwent robotic surgery provides a brief thought. Of course, these adverse events occurred in surgery and surgery compared with the total number and you will find, most of the surgery is still safe.
However, Raman and his team did not discuss these casualties and that no machine involved in the results of the surgery were compared. If there is no information in this part, it is difficult for robots are in surgical to conclude better or worse. Hermes iPhone 6 cover Hermes iPhone 6 flip case
Nevertheless, improve technology and reduce the failure rate remains a major guarantee of success rate.
