The Endourocenter meeting held in October was eventful, one of the key events of which was the opening of the Center for Robotic Surgery at St. Luke's State Clinical Hospital.
The latest Da Vinci Xi robotic system is installed in one of the operating rooms of the new operating unit on the 5th floor of the hospital. Medical Visual Systems specialists have integrated the new equipment into a single complex “MVS Smart Operating Room”.
The image from the robot assistant’s video camera is transmitted to additional monitors in the operating room, allowing everyone present to monitor the progress of the operation. There is also a video recording of the operation, including from the source “Da Vinci robot” with subsequent archiving.
Dmitry Yuryevich Pushkar, Chief Urologist of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation, chief freelance specialist urologist of the Moscow Department of Health, Head of the Department of Urology of the Moscow State Medical University named after A. I. Evdokimov, head of the University Clinic of Urology at the S. I. Spasokukotsky State Clinical Hospital, Academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Professor, Doctor of Medical Sciences, took part in the opening of the Center for Robotic Surgery.
Dmitry Yurievich performed a neuropreserving radical prostatectomy. The operation was broadcast live to the concert hall of the City tel Hotel (St. Petersburg) to the participants of the urological conference.
After the operation, Dmitry Yurievich, who has extensive experience in designing and creating modern operating units, shared his impressions of the new hospital operating unit, noted the importance of videotaping operations and the importance of data collection and processing for the Russian healthcare system.
One of the problems faced by developers of solutions based on artificial intelligence (AI) in healthcare is the availability of high-quality data on which it will be possible to train a machine algorithm.
Video archives of surgical operations with recordings from various video sources, enriched with additional information, will become part of the research ecosystem for Russian healthcare in the near future. MVS, the developer of the Smart Operating Room solution, pays special attention to the function of synchronous video recording of operations and supports hospital management in creating a single centralized video archive.
