The Chinese University of Hong Kong announced on the 22nd that its research team used the fully flexible double arm endoscopic surgery robot system developed in Hong Kong last December to carry out robot assisted "transurethral resection of bladder tumor" (ERBT), which reduces the recurrence risk of bladder cancer patients compared with traditional surgery. CUHK introduces that the fully flexible dual arm endoscopic surgical robot system consists of an endoscope support, a robot positioning table, and a doctor's operating table, and is suitable for endoscopic surgery that enters through natural human channels. The system is equipped with two soft and small robotic arms, with a diameter of only 2.8 to 3.5 millimeters. Each robotic arm can move in 5 or more directions. Guo Jiawei, one of the members of the system development team and a professor in the Department of Mechanical and Automation Engineering at the School of Engineering, The Chinese University of Hong Kong, stated that the fully flexible dual arm endoscopic surgical robot system can be compatible with different commercial endoscopic systems, making it convenient to apply to endoscopic surgeries in multiple specialties. In the future, it is expected to be expanded to include gastrointestinal, uterine, biliary diseases, and other areas. Associate Professor Zhao Jiafeng from the Urology Department of the Department of Surgery at the Chinese University of Hong Kong stated that the robotic system enhances the stability of ERBT operations, helps reduce bleeding and puncture risks, improves surgical accuracy, and subsequently reduces the risk of complications and recurrence due to residual tumor tissue, accelerating postoperative recovery for patients. It is understood that the urology group of the Department of Surgery of HKCUHK Medical College used the system to treat 8 patients with bladder cancer from December last year to April this year, and all of them successfully completed endoscopic bladder cancer resection.
