National Medical Research Center of Surgery named after A.V. Vishnevsky FSBI National Medical Research Center of Surgery

One of the medical institutions in Russia. The Institute is a research institution and a multidisciplinary surgical clinic in Russia, known for its rich history and traditions, an authoritative scientific and medical and methodological center, occupying leading positions in many fields of surgery. Every year, more than 8,000 operations are carried out at the N.V. Vishnevsky.

History

2024: Application of a robotic surgeon in operations

On October 17, 2024, it became known that operations using a laparoscopic robotic digital system were first carried out at the National Medical Research Center for High Medical Technologies - the A. A. Vishnevsky Central Military Clinical Hospital (TsVKG).

According to TASS, the head of the hospital, Major General of the Medical Service Alexander Esipov said that a specially equipped operating room allows for minimally invasive surgical interventions at a qualitatively new level. The robotic system provides higher accuracy, speed of operations and shortens the recovery time of patients.

A feature of the new system is the presence of feedback, which solves the problem of the surgeon's lack of tactile sensitivity when working with a robot. This allows the operator to feel tissue resistance and prevents possible damage during surgery.

The head of the 5th surgical department of the TsVKG named after A. A. Vishnevsky, lieutenant colonel of the medical service Yuri Utlik noted the success of the operation. Preliminary training of personnel at simulation centers and mannequins avoided difficulties in performing a real intervention.

The robotic system is equipped with artificial intelligence based on neural networks. About 300 operations were loaded into its database, which allows the surgeon to access reference information directly during the intervention. In addition, the neural network is able to predict the operator's actions on the movement of his eyes and signal potential risks to the patient.

Each performed operation is written to the system library and will be used to optimize subsequent interventions. This ensures the continuous improvement of the operation of the robotic complex and the improvement of the quality of medical care provided.^[1]
