Presentation
Comparative Assessment of Workload and Fatigue Between daVinci Xi and da Vinci 5 Robotic Systems
SessionPoster Session 2
DescriptionRobotic surgery has gained prevalence in minimally invasive surgery since early systems obtained approval from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in the late 1990s and early 2000s. Robotic surgery has transformed modern surgical practice, enabling greater precision, smaller incisions, and faster recovery times for patients. One of the most used systems, the da Vinci ® Surgical Robotic System, has seen many iterations over the years, with the newest versions being the Xi (2014), SP (2019) and the da Vinci 5 (2024). Each iteration of the da Vinci systems adds in new features and capabilities to reduce surgeon stress and fatigue, while improving surgical flow and outcomes. Between the newer systems, the da Vinci 5 (DV5) serves as the direct successor to the Xi system and offers various improvements such as, easier ergonomic adjustments, force feedback controls, better audio system, guide paths for new instruments, and embedded control for insufflation and energy. This study assesses and compares the ergonomic impact of both systems in real-world surgical environments, focusing on the hypothesis that the da Vinci 5 reduces overall fatigue through improved console adjustability and workflow improvements from new embedded features.
