The Application of Sentire Surgical System Plus Patient Side Single Arm in Robotic Colorectal Surgery

In the researchers' words

Robotic assisted surgery has been performed for more than two decades with good success and safety profile. However, there was only one dominating robotic surgical system available in the past which led to high cost for robotic surgery. Recently, a new robotic surgical system (Sentire Robotic Surgical System) was introduced by researchers of The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK). This new robotic surgical system aims to achieve similar outcomes and standards of robotic surgery performed using the dominating system but with a significantly lower cost. The technologic innovation and development of this new robotic system is made by the Cornerstone Robotics Limited, which is based in Hong Kong. In a pilot clinical study conducted at Prince of Wales Hospital involving 55 patients, the Sentire Surgical System C1000 had demonstrated high success rate with minimal complications in patients who underwent robotic colorectal surgery. Recently, a new component of the system - the Patient Side Single Arm, is developed. It is an independent robotic arm designed for compatibility with the Sentire Surgical System, creating the hybrid surgical system known as the C1000 Ultra. The new component may enhance port placement flexibility, minimize arm collisions with the patient or operating table, and optimize docking for seamless integration into the operating room.
