Robot Assisted Cholecystectomy Using the BORNS Simphoni System.

Background And Objective: Robotic cholecystectomy has technical advantages of 3D visualization, enhanced instrument maneuverability, and increased precision. Less chance of conversion to open and biliary spillage. This study explores the utilization of the BORNS Simphoni Robotic System for robotic cholecystectomy.

Methods: The paper discusses the safety and efficacy of the system during a phase 1 clinical trial, focusing on key technical steps, outcomes, and comparisons with conventional laparoscopic cholecystectomy.

Results: Results from the trial indicate successful completion of surgeries with no conversions to open procedures, minimal blood loss, and low postoperative pain.

Discussion: The BORNS Simphoni system offers advanced features such as an open console design, articulating and nonarticulating instruments, and integrated ultrasonic energy sources. The study suggests the feasibility and effectiveness of robotic cholecystectomy using the BORNS Simphoni system. However, a larger sample size is needed to further evaluate and confirm these findings, as well as to assess the cost-effectiveness of this platform for broader adoption.
