Reportlinker has declared the availability of new market research report titled “Surgical Robots: Market Shares, Strategy, and Forecasts, Worldwide, 2012 to 2018”.
Advancement in next generation systems to revolutionize traditional open surgery drives the global surgical robot markets to achieve significant growth. Robots have been creating automated process revolution in surgery and communications. Robots are automating systems that improve and promote precision in surgical procedures.
A robot assisted surgical procedure requires the patient-side cart to be placed adjacent to the operating table. The surgeon selects the initial ports which will then be accessed by electromechanical arms with visualization instruments. The surgeon performs the surgical procedure from a console.
Increased strategic advantage can be achieved by companies being established within the robotics market at an early stage. Robot systems are attracting significant interest in hospitals and healthcare centers due to their beneficial features such as cost-effectiveness, precision, repeatable and controlled capability of carrying out efficient procedures in tight spaces, reducing hospital stays for patients and more.
The aging US population is another driving force for surgical robots as elderly population requires improved and complication-free medical devices. These factors have led to rapid industrial growth over the last five years.
Robot-assisted surgery enables the surgeon to have better control over the surgical instruments and a clear view of the surgical site when compared to other minimally invasive surgery approaches. The robot's computer software is capable of eliminating even hand tremors. The surgical robot ensures constant use by rotating surgery teams.
With the progression of advanced devices, instruments and systems in performing minimally invasive surgeries, the surgical robot device markets are expected to have an anticipated growth from $2.4 B in 2011 to $8.5 B by 2018.
