Researchers in Singapore invented a robot equipped with a miniature pliers and hook can remove tumors in the stomach early stages without leaving any scars.
The robot enters the telescope mounted on the gastrointestinal tract of the patient through the mouth. Provider and this man with pliers to catch cancer cells and the hook to be removed and blood coagulation to prevent bleeding.
With the help of a small camera attached to the laparoscopic surgeon see inside the guts and controls the arm robot remote while sitting in front of a screen to continue.
The Specialist Medicine bowel Lawrence is the one who helped in the design of robots, "our actions are so large and if you want to make very precise movements of the hands Stertash .. But the robot could implement very precise movements without trembling."
Said the professor is the one who works in a hospital Singapore National University that robot assisted in the removal of stomach cancer in its early stages in the five patients in India and Hong Koc absorbed fraction of the time it takes usually surgery opening and the hole which is the main make patients vulnerable smaller risk of infection and leaves and scars.
And stomach cancer is the second largest cause of death among cancers in various parts of the world, which is particularly common in East Asia. And is usually diagnosed stomach cancer at a late stage of the disease then treatment is difficult and often unsuccessful.
