Surgeons from the Ibn Sina Hospital of Ankara University have successfully go run first Two brain surgeries in the world using automated intervention via skull on intracranial tissue with Da Vinci robot.
The surgeries were performed in specially designed operating Chambers of Dr. Amir Eroglu, Faculty Member of Neurosurgery, headed by of professor Dr. Şükrü Çağlar, W head of Department of Neurosurgery in the College of Medicine at Ankara University.
Speaking to Anadolu Agency (AA), Eroglu pointed out that neurosurgery at Ankara University team Robotic surgery, especially intraoral, started five years ago and has been working ever since on number of Patients.
indicating that in In the mentioned period, robot-assisted surgery as a method was practiced all over the world, in particular in Spinal surgeries, said Eroglu, the newborn developed technologies I started removing restrictions in terms of surgeries as doctors with the new robotic tools now perform Better surgeries.
“We started use Robotic surgery in Brain surgeries in Our clinic. after opening the skull with Routine method, we used da Vinci robot to perform the surgery. And so we have successfully executed first Brain surgery in the world in who used this method.
to provide information on the details of Perform surgeries with Da Vinci’s robot, Eroglu said one of operations were on Arachnoid cyst in The brain and the other was a tumor close to the brain tissue.
Emphasize the advantages of Eroglu emphasized the precision of the robot-assisted brain surgery operations of robotic tools Because they can of more Precise movements of the hands. he also added The mentioned method is effective in suitable cases.
Eroglu also Said the leading score of I will surgery soon it is published in one of Top notch neurosurgery journals. It is reported that they have increased the number of surgeries since first Operation five years ago, Eroğlu saw that development in Neurosurgery and other surgeries will shift to hybrid surgeries.
State the purpose of the development of The Da Vinci robot is in action on astronauts in spacesaid Eroğlu 7G technology He is required to implement this.
“the future heading towards this. Soon futureA surgeon from Türkiye will be able to perform the operation on a patient in Holland”. Explaining that they are writing thesis on remote f research And development (R&D) studies in this directionEroglu also He said that male technology Requires financial Resources and Technological Infrastructure Adding: “We may not be at that point yet, but we are working on He. She.”
Meanwhile, Dr. Ükrü Çağlar pointed out teams Preparations were made for the next hours of the operation. “we can call It’s a hybrid robot. this method should to be seen as technology of the future,” He said.
