Research announces that it has published a new study Surgical Robots:
Market Shares, Strategy, and Forecasts, Worldwide, 2012 to 2018. The
2012 study has 263 pages, 75 tables and figures. Worldwide surgical
robot markets are poised to achieve significant growth as the next
generation systems provide a way to improve traditional open surgery.
The
automated process revolution in surgery and communications is being
implemented via robots. Robots are automating systems, providing
significant improvement in the accuracy of surgery.
According
to Susan Eustis, lead author of the study, \"Existing open
surgery can be replaced in large part by robotic and minimally
invasive surgery (MIS). Minimally invasive surgery MIS, drug
therapies, radiation treatment, and emerging interventional surgical
approaches complement robotic surgery techniques as a replacement for
or complement to open surgery.\"
During
a robot assisted surgical procedure, the patient-side cart is
positioned next to the operating table with the electromechanical
arms arranged to provide access to the initial ports selected by the
surgeon. Metal tubes attached to the arms are inserted through the
ports, and the cutting and visualization instruments are introduced
through the tubes into the patient\'s body.
The
surgeon performs the procedure while sitting at a console,
manipulating the instrument controls and viewing the operation
through a vision system. When a surgeon needs to change an instrument
the instrument is withdrawn from the surgical field using the
controls at the console and a new instrument is inserted. This is
done many times during an operation.
The
companies that get an early foothold in the market have significant
strategic advantage. The robotic surgical technique benefits
hospitals by reducing the length of patient stays, thereby enabling
better cost management. This factor is driving demand for surgery
robot systems. Since robotics provides surgeons with a precise,
repeatable and controlled ability to perform procedures in tight
spaces, they are increasingly in demand.
The
aging US population has supported demand, since the occurrence of
health issues that require medical devices is higher in the elderly
population. Buoyed by strong demand and sales, industry profit
margins have increased considerably during the past five years.
Compared
with other minimally invasive surgery approaches, robot-assisted
surgery gives the surgeon better control over the surgical
instruments and a better view of the surgical site. Surgeons no
longer have to stand throughout the surgery and do not tire as
quickly. Hand tremors are filtered out by the robot\'s computer
software. The surgical robot can continuously be used by rotating
surgery teams.
Surgical
robot device markets at $2.4 billion in 2011 are anticipated to reach
$8.5 billion by 2018 as next generation devices, systems, and
instruments are introduced to manage surgery through small ports in
the body instead of large open wounds.
