“…It is consequently debatable whether they cover their actual needs. A qualitative study by Aaltonen and Wahlström 14 was focused on three aspects: enhancing surgical operation outcome, user experience and learning. The study selected technological solution concepts based on a technology review and an ethnographic study.…”

The robotic surgical systems and computer-assisted technologies market has seen impressive growth over the last decades, but uptake by end-users is still scarce. The purpose of this article is to provide a comprehensive and informed list of the end-user requirements for the development of new generation robot- and computer-assisted surgical systems and the methodology for eliciting them. The requirements were elicited, in the frame of the EU project SMARTsurg, by conducting interviews on use cases of chosen urology, cardiovascular and orthopaedics procedures, tailored to provide clinical foundations for scientific and technical developments. The structured interviews resulted in detailed requirement specifications which are ranked according to their priorities. Paradigmatic surgical scenarios support the use cases.

“…For example, conventional hardwired analog interface technology based NPP control rooms undergo extensive modifications when the automation systems are modernized (Nystad et al, 2011). The work of surgeons will also change when advanced robot surgery solutions are deployed in operating theaters (Aaltonen & Wahlström, 2018).…”

“…It should also be noted that new research directions are starting to emerge within these surgical practices. Auxiliary technological devices and instrumentation, such as robotic-assisted surgeries with enhanced image-processing systems [85][86][87], as well as the development of new biomaterials based on nanotechnology [88,89], show a great potential for driving the future evolution of reconstructive vascular and nervous laser welding.…”

Overview on the Evolution of Laser Welding of Vascular and Nervous Tissues

Laser welding presents a core position in the health sector. This process has had an outstanding impact on the surgical procedures from many medical areas, such as on vascular and nervous surgeries. The aim of the present research is to present an overview on the evolution of laser welding of vascular and nervous tissues. These surgeries present many advantages, such as an absence of foreign-body reactions and aneurysms and good tensile strengths. However, despite the sutureless nature of the process, complementary sutures have been applied to support the procedure success. An important concern in vascular and nervous laser welding is the thermal damage. The development of temperature-controlled feedback systems has reduced this concern with a very precise control of the laser parameters. The bonding strength of vascular and nerve laser welds can be enhanced with the application of solder solutions, bonding materials, and laser-activated dyes. Alternative techniques to laser welding, such as photochemical tissue bonding and electrosurgical high-frequency technologies, have also been tested for vascular and nervous repairs.
