First clinical uses of Medineering Robotic Endoscopy
(PresseBox) - The Munich based surgical robotics startup Medineering announced the first clinical uses of its robotic solution Medineering Robotic Endoscopy. After having received the CE approval for the Endoscope Robot in February various clinical uses in university hospitals across Germany (Tübingen, Ulm, Regensburg, Essen) and in northern Italy (Brescia) have been performed successfully.
Medineering Robotic Endoscopy supports surgeons during minimally invasive ENT surgery (nose, ear, larynx) by moving and holding the endoscope. The modular robotic solution is part of the Medineering Platform for Hybrid Robotic Surgery. It is based on the Positioning Arm, which is combined with the application-specific Endoscope Robot and a foot pedal as control device.
During endoscopic surgery, the surgeon or an assistant have to hold and to move the endoscope manually, which leads to limitations in performing and developing surgical techniques. Professor Dr. Francesco Doglietto from the Department for Neurosurgery of the University Hospital Brescia, Italy used the Medineering solution during transnasal skull base surgery: ?The robotic solution is a great benefit for doing complex surgery in anatomical regions, where a clear and stable image without tremor is needed. With its precise movements, the robot delivers exactly the endoscope image I need to see and I still have two hands available for instrumentation.? Professor Dr. Stefan Mattheis, Vice Director of the ENT Department of the University Hospital Essen used the robotic solution also for surgeries, which are normally unsuitable for the endoscopic technique due to the current limitations: ?The Medineering solution has the potential to expand the applications of existing surgical endoscopic techniques.? ?We deeply appreciate the passion and enthusiasm of our clinical partners and we are looking forward to pushing surgical robotics forward together?, says Dr. Maximilian Krinninger, CTO of Medineering.
Medineering, headquartered in Munich, develops, manufactures and markets an application-specific and convenient robotic portfolio to make the benefits of robotic assistance available to a broad number of patients. The portfolio consists of the Positioning Arm and compact application-specific robots assisting surgeons in complex anatomical regions. Dr. Maximilian Krinninger and Dr. Stephan Nowatschin founded Medineering in June 2014. The startup has grown rapidly and the young and international team consists of highly specialized robotic engineers, marketing experts and regulatory specialists.
