Robot surgeon started killing patients

Da Vinci robot used for surgical operations has been installed in clinics around the world. At first doctors were delighted with the four-armed “colleagues”, but recently it has become alarming incidents are known. Intuitive Surgical Company maximally simplified the responsibilities of surgeons by creating a robot with with four mechanical arms and a tiny telescope transmitting image of the operated organ. Doctors are not near the patient, and control da Vinci through a special console, guided by to the 3D image displayed on the screen.

Naturally, hours-long operations have become less tiring for surgeons. In addition, the robot has one important advantage – the mechanical arm will never flinch. Convenient Da Vinci’s assistant began to be used to conduct such operations like gastric bypass surgery, removal of the prostate glands and gallbladder, mitral valve repair, organ transplantation and many others.

However, reports of problems with the medical device made Doctors alert. Reports filed by surgeons include the following incidents: – the death of a woman resulting from accidental cut by a robot of blood vessels; – operation on fatal spleen; – perforation of the colon during prostate surgery; – capture by internal robotic arm tissue during rectal surgery; “We should have been completely turn off the system to unclench the capture of the device, ”said a doctor who fought with da Vinci. The report states that the patient is not Suffered. – a blow to the patient’s face in one of four mechanical limbs that occurred during a hysterectomy. It is not known what the surgery would have ended if the surgeon hadn’t set about the direct fulfillment of his duties. “Results studies show that risks associated with the use of the robot is significantly underestimated. The fast introduction of the da Vinci machine was done without evaluating its capabilities. We know cases catastrophic complications that arose after operations performed with mechanical hands, ”said a surgeon from the university Johns Hopkins Martin Makary (Martin Makary). On this lunge said Intuitive Surgical spokeswoman Angela Wonson (Angela Wonson): “The da Vinci system has excellent performance security, and the total number of unwanted events remains low. ”
