Micro-laparoscopic surgical instruments reduce the size of surgical incisions and postoperative recovery time in a variety of ways.
Micro-laparoscopic surgical instruments use a single-port surgical model, which only requires a small incision in the navel to enter the body for surgical operations. This design not only reduces the size of the surgical incision, but also allows for faster postoperative recovery, because the smaller incision reduces the amount of bleeding and damage to surrounding tissues.
Micro-laparoscopic surgical instruments include miniaturized tools such as micro-graspers and micro-scissors, which can complete complex surgical operations without expanding the incision. This delicate operation reduces trauma during surgery, thereby reducing the risk of postoperative pain and complications.
In addition, the design of micro-laparoscopic surgical instruments also takes into account portability and ease of operation. For example, the MIRA® platform is a portable surgical robot that weighs only 900 grams and does not require dedicated space or infrastructure. It can perform complex minimally invasive single-incision multi-quadrant abdominal surgeries. This portability allows doctors to perform surgical operations more flexibly, further reducing surgical time and postoperative recovery time.
Micro-laparoscopic surgical instruments effectively reduce the size of surgical wounds and postoperative recovery time by adopting a single-port surgical mode, using miniaturized tools, and designing portable surgical robots.
Compared with traditional surgery, how does the single-port surgical mode of micro-laparoscopic surgical instruments reduce bleeding and damage to surrounding tissues can be explained in detail from the following aspects:
Reducing tissue trauma: Single-port laparoscopic surgery enters the abdominal cavity through a small incision, reducing the trauma of multiple incisions. This minimally invasive method not only reduces tissue damage, but also significantly reduces postoperative pain.
Reducing intraoperative bleeding: Since single-port surgery only requires one incision, the use of multiple operating instruments is reduced, thereby reducing the risk of intraoperative bleeding. In addition, although the micro-laparoscopic instruments used in single-port surgery may have insufficient grip, their delicate operation can more effectively control the bleeding point.
Reducing damage to surrounding tissues: Single-port surgery reduces contact with the peritoneum and abdominal organs, thereby reducing the incidence of peritoneal reactions. This not only reduces the patient's pain, but also reduces damage to surrounding tissues.
Faster postoperative recovery: Due to the small trauma, the postoperative recovery of single-port surgery is faster, and the hospitalization costs are also reduced accordingly. This rapid recovery also helps to reduce the incidence of postoperative complications.
Reduce the amount of anesthetics and analgesics: Since single-port surgery is less painful, the amount of anesthetics and analgesics required by patients during and after surgery is reduced, further reducing the burden on the patient's body.
The application of miniaturized tools in micro-laparoscopic surgery is mainly reflected in the following aspects:
Single-port surgical mode: Miniaturized tools allow surgery to enter the body through a very small incision (such as the navel), thereby reducing surgical trauma. For example, the mira robot adopts a single-port surgical mode, which only needs to enter the body through a small incision on the navel, and performs surgical operations through self-developed miniaturized tools such as micro-laparoscopy, micro-grasping forceps and micro-scissors.
Full-quadrant multi-channel treatment mode: These miniaturized tools enable complex surgical operations without enlarging the incision. For example, the mira robot provides full-quadrant multi-channel treatment mode for colectomy, which means that delicate operations can be performed in multiple directions, thereby improving the precision and safety of the operation.
Reduced recovery time after surgery: Due to less trauma, operations using miniaturized tools generally have faster recovery times. For example, the mira robot is less invasive, less expensive, and has a shorter recovery time.
Modular design: Some miniaturized tools are modular in design, and the slim diameter reduces surgical trauma at the port site, making them ideal for mini laparoscopic surgery.
High-precision operation: Based on the position of the micro-motor in the robot arm close to the end effector, the robot arm can not only perform high-precision operations, but also cover various abdominal or pelvic surgeries.
The working principle of the MIRA® platform and other portable mini laparoscopic surgical robots is mainly based on high-precision mechanical movement and advanced sensor technology. These robots improve control accuracy through modular design and motor drive, and use ergonomics to reasonably allocate the functions of the hand and robot to optimize the human-machine coupling structure. In addition, these robots are equipped with tactile feedback technology, which can truly feel the end operation force, thereby improving surgical accuracy and safety.
These surgical robots significantly reduce the harm to the patient's body by reducing the size and number of surgical incisions. For example, the Vicarious robot only requires a small incision of 1.5 cm for abdominal surgery, which is smaller than a coin. This minimally invasive technology not only reduces intraoperative bleeding and postoperative pain, but also shortens postoperative recovery time.
In addition, the use of surgical robots can also improve the accuracy and safety of surgery and reduce potential damage to important organs and adjacent structures during surgery. These robots can provide higher operating accuracy in open surgery, thereby unlocking the ability to complete what were previously considered difficult and high-risk surgeries.
The evaluation of the effect of micro-laparoscopic surgical instruments in clinical trials is mainly reflected in the following aspects:
Reducing the size of the wound: Micro-laparoscopic surgical instruments operate through smaller incisions or punctures, which significantly reduces the size of the surgical incision. For example, the diameter of some micro-laparoscopy is only 2.0mm, which makes the operation more minimally invasive. This minimal invasiveness not only reduces the size of the skin incision, but also reduces postoperative pain and recovery time.
Postoperative recovery time: Due to its minimal invasiveness, micro-laparoscopic surgery significantly shortens the postoperative recovery time. The patient can eat semi-liquid food and get out of bed the next day after surgery, and can return to normal life after a week. For minor surgeries, such as cholecystectomy or appendectomy, patients can generally return to normal work in about a week. For more complex surgeries, hospitalization may be required for 1-2 weeks after surgery, and full recovery takes 3-6 months.
Reducing postoperative pain: Micro-laparoscopic surgical instruments are inserted through small incisions, reducing damage to tissues, thereby reducing postoperative pain. In addition, the low risk of complications of minimally invasive surgery further reduces postoperative pain.
Almost no visible scars: Since the incision is very small, micro-laparoscopic surgery usually has almost no visible scars.
The latest technological advances in micro-laparoscopic surgical instruments mainly include the following aspects:
Revolutionary laparoscopic traction technology: MicroAnchoring technology developed by Virtual-Ports is an ultra-small double anchoring system that can better expose the field of view, save surgical resources, shorten the operation time and reduce the cost of surgery. The technology is interconnected by ropes, allowing 360° operation between organs and abdominal walls, and has evolved into different types such as EndoGrab, EndoLift and delivery system Applier according to surgical needs.
Robot-assisted surgery: Minimally invasive® Tumai® robot is the first domestically produced four-arm laparoscopic surgical robot, with technical advantages such as three-dimensional real surgical field of view, fine manipulation of micro-instruments, and high dexterity movement in narrow spaces, which can achieve precise, safe, efficient and minimally invasive surgical operations.
Micro-camera laparoscope: The market for micro-camera laparoscopes is growing rapidly, with global sales expected to reach $1.6 billion by 2028, a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of %. This technology provides clear images through a micro-camera, helping doctors perform more precise surgical operations.
Application of deep learning technology: Some minimally invasive surgical instruments use deep learning technology and are controlled by a master-slave control system for laparoscopic surgery in urology, further improving the accuracy and safety of the operation.
Future development trends are mainly concentrated in the following aspects:
Instrument miniaturization: With the advancement of technology, laparoscopic instruments will continue to develop in a more miniaturized direction to meet more complex surgical needs.
Intelligence and automation: Using artificial intelligence and deep learning technology to further improve the intelligence level of surgical instruments, achieve more accurate surgical operations and better user experience.
Popularization of robotics: Robot-assisted surgery will become the norm, especially in complex laparoscopic surgery, where robots will provide higher accuracy and safety.
