Sydney surgeon controls robot in Shanghai in glimpse of future cancer care

A Sydney surgeon has carried out a demonstration of cancer surgery in China without leaving Sydney. Associate Professor Ruban Thanigasalam used a console at Chris O’Brien Lifehouse to guide the Toumai robot as it cut and stitched a demonstration kidney in Shanghai. No patient was involved. Thanigasalam said the technology could let specialists in cities operate on patients in regional areas, so they could stay close to home. He said Australian hospitals still need further approvals, including medico-legal and indemnity clearances, before offering remote surgery.

Robotic shoulder surgery

Sunshine Coast orthopaedic surgeon Dr Joe Coory has become the first in Australia to perform a reverse total shoulder replacement using the latest generation robotic-arm technology. The procedure was carried out at Maroochy Private Hospital in Maroochydore on October 1, using the Mako 4 system developed by Stryker. The system uses three-dimensional CT imaging to build a personalised surgical plan, with the robotic arm guiding bone preparation while the surgeon stays in full control. Dr Coory has completed more than 100 robotic shoulder replacements since introducing the technology to the region last August.

Adelaide grandmother among first Australians to undergo breakthrough robotic shoulder replacement

An Adelaide grandmother with years of arthritis-related shoulder pain has become one of the first people in Australia to have a robotic shoulder replacement. Carol Beatty had the surgery at Eastwood Hospital, the first patient at the facility to receive it. The Mako robotic system maps the patient's joint before surgery and guides surgeons with high precision. Surgeons say the technology stops them moving outside the planned area and may reduce soft tissue damage, pain and swelling. Beatty hopes the procedure will ease her pain and help her return to activities with her family.
