South Africa Launches Spider-Like Robot With 4 Arms To Perform Surgeries by TMKsouth: 6:19pm On Oct 13, 2021 |
The Groote Schuur Hospital in Cape Town, South Africa, is set to become the first state hospital in Africa to perform robotic-assisted surgery following the launch of the state-of-the-art Da Vinci X-I surgical robot. At a cost of just under 40-million rands (1-billion naira), the multi-armed robot will aid surgeons in doing complex surgeries on the human body in a less invasive and shorter period of time. Robotic Surgery Coordinator at the hospital, Dr Samkele Salukazana today demonstrated its capabilities. He says the technology offers a host of benefits for both surgeons and patients. “It’s really an amazing piece of equipment, more especially the hand movement essentially can almost do 360 degree movements in the hands, which you don’t get with conventional laparoscopy and that’s the art in robotic surgery, better vision, magnification, clean clear visual of the anatomy and easier dissection with range of movement,” says Dr Salukazana. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v1jBVF3qqu4 The Western Cape Health Department says it is working on plans to address a backlog in surgical procedures at state hospitals – caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. The department prioritised managing its response to the pandemic – resulting in the scaling back of some of its services. Chief of Operations Dr Saadiq Kariem says the surgical services list at all public hospitals will be increased. He says the new state-of-the-art surgical robot will also help to increase much-needed services. “We’ve got plans at all of our public hospitals to increase the surgical services lists so that we can in fact address the surgical backlogs. The robot will certainly assist us because it will allow us to be more efficient in terms of services that we provide and also will allow us a wider scope and a wider range of clinical services that we can in fact make sure we provide those services to the people of the province,” says Dr Kariem. 12 Likes 4 Shares

This is super nice, I hope it won't take the place of humans in the future though? TMKSouth do you know XhosaNostra in person or communicate with her? Are you perhaps her friend? I observed it's been about a year since she last came online, I'm sort of worried/curious about her, do you know if she's safe/alive? Do you know anyone who knows her? Did she just stop coming online or has an alternate moniqer? 2 Likes |

UndauntedYOCA: Talk to JaceBlaze (he's in this thread) - they were very close. Even lovers maybe I got to know her towards her last days on NL, unfortunately. She was very nice indeed, but I saw she was getting bullied and trolled - told to leave the forum even. So maybe she obliged . 1 Like |

TMKsouth: It has always been my dream to operate on the human heart using this Xi robotic system.. my mentor has done over 560 operation using this system and counting. The only drawback is the cost as not many health system can afford it. Plus the regular upgrade and maintenance of the system by the manufacturer "intuitive" a California based tech company. Our health sector needs to do more to get to this level. 5 Likes 1 Share |
