Robot-assisted cataract surgery is feasible. This experimental study confirmed the Da Vinci Xi robotic system

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Robotic Surgery
  • Surgical Simulation

Background:

  • Cataract surgery is a common procedure.
  • Advancements in surgical technology aim to improve outcomes.
  • Robot-assisted surgery offers potential benefits in precision and control.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the feasibility of performing simulated cataract surgery using a robot-assisted approach.
  • To assess the capabilities of the Da Vinci Xi robotic surgical system in cataract surgery simulation.

Main Methods:

  • Simulated cataract surgeries were conducted on a Kitaro cataract wet-lab training system.
  • The Da Vinci Xi robotic surgical system and Whitestar Signature phacoemulsification system were used concurrently.
  • Procedures were assessed for duration and successful completion, noting any ocular complications.

Main Results:

  • Robot-assisted cataract surgery was technically feasible in 25 simulated procedures.
  • The robotic system provided necessary dexterity and visualization for key phacoemulsification steps.
  • Mean operative time was 26.44 minutes; 2 cases had minor corneal incision enlargement.

Conclusions:

  • Experimental robot-assisted cataract surgery is technically feasible.
  • The Da Vinci Xi system, with a phacoemulsification machine, can be used for simulated cataract surgery.
  • Further research may explore clinical applications.
