  1. da Vinci Robotic Surgery Lawsuit: Is Robotic‐Assisted Surgery a Double‐Edged Scalpel? da Vinci Robotic Surgery Lawsuit: Is Robotic‐Assisted Surgery a Double‐Edged Scalpel?  https://www.medlegal360.com/da‐vinci‐robotic‐assisted‐surgery‐lawsuit/  It's important to remember that while robotic‐assisted surgery has a promising future, challenges still  need to be overcome. These difficulties include the price of robotic systems, moral dilemmas, restrictions  imposed by the law, and the requirement that surgeons receive significant training.   #Roboticassistedsurgery  Visit here: https://youtu.be/6FA8bjmI1yI  da Vinci Robotic Surgery Lawsuit: Is Robotic‐Assisted Surgery a Double‐Edged Scalpel?  https://www.medlegal360.com/da‐vinci‐robotic‐assisted‐surgery‐lawsuit/  Robotic‐assisted surgery is a sophisticated form of minimally invasive surgery that employs robots under  computer control to complete tasks that people are unable to complete or to produce superior results. A  surgeon who has completed robotic surgery training performs the procedure. When the first robotic  surgery was performed in 1985, robotics were being used to reduce movement brought on by hand  tremors. Robots offer stability, accuracy, integration with modern imaging breakthroughs, a broader  range of motion, and telesurgery, among many other benefits unique to each surgical specialty. Surgeons  that utilize the robotic system discover that it enhances flexibility, control, and gives them a better view  of the surgical region as compared to traditional approaches.  According to information from the equipment makers, there were approximately 644,000 robotically  assisted surgeries performed in the United States in 2017. The US performs more medical procedures  using robotic assistance than any other country in the world. Additionally, 65% of all da Vinci robotic  devices used globally and 73% of all robotically assisted cases performed globally take place in the United  States.  There were 600,000 robotically assisted surgical procedures performed in the United States in 2022. By  2028, there will likely be a significant increase of 1 million procedures in the robotic surgery market.  Robotic assisted surgery is a technique that uses instruments that are carefully controlled by a qualified  surgeon. The surgeon console, where the surgeon sits to operate the instruments in high‐definition 3D, is  the essential part of the robotic surgery system.  The next one is the patient cart, which is equipped with  a camera and other tools that the surgeon can control from a console. The vision cart, which facilitates  communication between various parts and supports a 3D high‐definition vision system, is another crucial  element.  Now let's look at the advantages that patients receive from having robotic surgery.  •Less bleeding  •Lessening of pain  •Less use of medicines  •Less scarring  •Fewer infections at risk  •Shorter hospital stays  •Quicker recovery times 

  2. Who is responsible for a botched robotic surgery?  When performing robotic surgery, the surgeon still has a responsibility to provide the greatest standard  of care and to use the technology correctly. The patient must show that the risk of a robotic malfunction  would have been reduced if the procedure had been carried out at a different facility or by a different  surgeon when a robotic‐assisted surgical error results in injuries or any other damages.  The robotic surgical system known as the da Vinci Surgical System is produced by Intuitive Surgical Inc.  Four robotic arms make up the robotic system. Robot‐assisted operations used in the da Vinci surgical  system have had unfavorable effects and caused difficulties for many patients.   In 2014, the business issued a recall for specific cannulae parts because of the potential for misuse‐related  degradation that could endanger patients undergoing robotic treatments.  In March 2017, during a da Vinci robotic inguinal hernia surgery, a patient's intestines allegedly had to be  severed. This was discovered when the patient left the hospital two days later. The patient came back,  complaining of stomach ache, and later died that day. In both federal and state courts in the United States,  patients have brought thousands of claims.  The impacted victims attempted to combine the lawsuits into  a multidistrict action in 2012. The U.S. Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation rejected the application on  the grounds that there weren't enough claims to support a consolidation. The corporation has put aside  $17.4 million as of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission report from March 2018 to settle the  lawsuits.  Most  lawsuits  are  known  to  be  discreetly  resolved  outside  of  court.  Intuitive  Surgical  yet  maintains that there is no risk of harm.  roboticsurgery  roboticsurgerylawsuit  roboticassistedsurgerylawsuit
