a four-armed robot to help surgeons

For one million euros, the Ambroise-Paré clinic in Thionville (Louis-Pasteur Santé Group) has just acquired an innovative robotic assistant, already in use in another group establishment, the Louis-Pasteur clinic in Essey. les-Nancy. “But this is a new generation,” says Dr.r Christophe Baillet, President of Louis-Pasteur Santé. The arms are thinner and the surgeon has better visibility. ”

Since last September, the Da Vinci Si robot has therefore enabled patients at the clinic with pathologies linked to the urinary tract, kidneys, bladder or prostate to benefit from the advantages of minimally invasive surgery. This device, developed by the intuitive American company, includes a set of high-precision articulated surgical instruments (camera tip, needle, dissection instrument, etc.) guided and controlled by the surgeon, a console equipped with a magnified 3D vision in front of which the surgeon sits in a seated position, and an imaging package with imaging components, state-of-the-art energy and an HD display. This allows all operating room staff to follow the procedure.

Articulated and miniaturized grippers

This sprawling robot, with its articulated and miniaturized grippers, is used mainly in digestive, urological and ENT surgery, but it can also be used in gynecology, endocrinology, vascular and even plastic surgery. It is, in a way, the extension of the surgeon’s hand and eyes! For the Dr Jacques Schlosser, urologist at Ambroise-Paré, Da Vinci Si has many advantages: “The minimally invasive treatment does not leave scars, it reduces post-operative risks, the return to normal life is faster for the patient. . The seated position of the surgeon and the placement of the patient provide comfort and more precise gestures in robotic guidance, and certain cavities, previously unattainable during conventional non-robotically assisted surgical procedures, are now accessible thanks to the precision of the instruments. . Of course, this new robot will have its place in the future Paré clinic, which will be established in Yutz, in the Meilbourg area in 2025.
