A Comparative Analysis Of Competitors In The Field Of Laparoscopic Robotic Surgery

Started Sept. 30, 2024

Abstract or project description

Robotic-assisted surgery is the future of laparoscopic surgery. However, due to the rising number of systems on the market, this paper aims to inform potential buyers of an RAS about the characteristics and strengths of select industry competitors. Robotic surgery is a type of surgery that uses robotic-assisted surgery (RAS) systems to perform procedures with increased precision. Specifically, this paper aims to analyze three surgical robots and 1 mechanical system using various metrics to evaluate their overall performance and accessibility. These platforms, ranging from hundreds to millions of dollars, include modular robotics systems and handheld purely mechanical systems. I hope to provide a basis for prospecting organizations considering the acquisition of an RAS to improve patient care while balancing constraints such as cost and space.
