2024: For the first time in the world, operations began using robotic surgeons controlled by an AR helmet and a 3D camera
In early November 2024, surgeons from Chile conducted the world's first robotic operations using the Levita MARS robot surgeon, the Quest 3 headset (developed by Meta, whose activities in Russia are recognized as extremist and prohibited) and 3D cameras V. Braun Aesculap EinsteinVision.
The operations combined 3D imaging and augmented reality (AR) technologies, which made it possible to speed up the operation and improve the accuracy of treatment. The operations were performed at the Louis Tisne Hospital in Santiago, which is part of Chile's public health system. The success of the project has shown that advanced robotic procedures can become available to a range of public hospitals and outpatient surgical centers where routine operations are difficult to perform.
The MARS robotic platform used in operations is equipped with Levita dynamic magnetic positioning technology, which allows surgeons to maneuver instruments inside body cavities using magnets. AR technology and 3D imaging system complemented the capabilities of the robot surgeon, significantly improving the view of the surgical field, thereby increasing the safety and accuracy of the procedure. Augmented reality headsets allow you to zoom in and change the position of a 3D image on a dynamic screen, projecting a high-definition virtual screen right in front of the surgeon and helping him navigate complex anatomical cases.
 | The use of AR technology in robotic operations is a pioneering achievement both in Chile and around the world, "noted Dr. Osvaldo Salgado, Chile's Deputy Minister of Health. - The use of augmented reality technologies and the Levita robotic platform allows you to visualize anatomical structures in 3D and significantly increases the safety and effectiveness of abdominal operations.[1] |  |
2021: First use of magnetic robot surgeon to remove gallbladder
In early July 2021 Levita Magnetics , she announced that for the first time in history, surgery with the use robotics was performed using the innovative robotic platform Levita. The development of the company was used in laparoscopic cholecystectomy with a reduced incision (removal of the gallbladder).
The Levita Magnetic Surgical System is designed to improve surgeon imaging and maintenance, monitor instruments, and improve patient care by attracting fewer support staff needed to perform procedures. Due to its compactness, the robotic platform is specially designed for outpatient operations of significant volume or abdominal operations with discharge on the same day.
| | Combining Levita magnetic technology with a robotic platform offers high hopes for improved surgical control and efficiency during surgical procedures, noted Dr. Ignacio Robles, who performed the operation using Levita's development. | |
| | We are taking magnetic surgery to the next level with this revolutionary approach. Our robotic platform is designed to take clinical advantage of a less invasive procedure with fewer incisions, while allowing the surgeon to fully control the platform and surgical instruments immediately next to the patient, said Levita Magnetics Founder and CEO Alberto Rodríguez-Navarro. | |
By July 2021, the company is engaged in clinical research and plans to present the Levita robotic platform to the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in late 2021. [2]
