FDA approves robotically-assisted surgical device

The FDA approved a new robotically- assisted surgical device, Senhance System, to facilitate minimally invasive surgeries.

The Senhance System allows surgeons to control three robotic arms while viewing a 3-D image of the surgical site. The system has characteristics such as force feedback, which allows surgeons to "feel" the tissue they are grabbing with the robotic arm; eye tracking, which helps control movement of the surgical tools and laparoscopic controls.

The system is intended for use on adult patients in need of colorectal surgery or gynecological surgery.
