Project description
Innovative Surgical Robot for General Surgery
The use of current large robots in surgery presents several challenges, including high costs and limited flexibility. The EIC-funded MILANO Robot project addresses these issues by offering a robotic platform consisting of a camera robot and an assistive robot. These robots can operate independently or collaborate with operative arms as an operative robot configuration. They are compact and easy to transport. Moreover, thanks to disposable tools and a user-friendly configuration, the initial setup can be completed in just 10 minutes. The operative robot is versatile and suitable for various surgical specialties. It features a lens cleaning and smoke evacuation system to ensure clear visibility and safety during procedures. Additionally, it boasts a competitive purchase price and a low cost per procedure.
Objective
M.I.L.A.N.O. Robotic Platform is composed of a Camera Robot and Assistive Robot that can be used independently or combined with operative arms as Operative Robot. Robots are compact and easily portable, thus, there is no need for a dedicated surgical room unlike with current large size robots. The initial set up can be done in only 10 minutes due to the use of single-use tools and easy configuration. The versatility of the Operative Robot to switch between single port (access via one incision in the abdomen) and multiport (access via multiple incisions in the abdomen) surgeries enable to use the same robot for a number of surgical specialties, such as gastrointestinal, gynecology and urology. Incorporated lens cleaning and smoke evacuation system offer a clear vision and increase the safety of surgical procedures. The competitive purchase price and cost per procedure offered to hospitals via convenient purchase plans allow to increase patients’ access to minimally invasive procedures.
