Purpose of the Study:

  • Investigate the feasibility of robotic assistance for laparoscopic surgery.
  • Evaluate robotic performance in simple laparoscopic maneuvers and cholecystectomy.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized the ZEUS robotic system for surgery.
  • Conducted robotically assisted laparoscopic cholecystectomy on 7 pigs.
  • Surgeon controlled 3-mm instruments remotely via a console.

Main Results:

  • Successfully completed robotically assisted laparoscopic cholecystectomy in all pigs.
