DaVinci Surgical Robot
COLLAPSE
The daVinci robot is robotic-assisted surgery with the daVinci Surgical System allows surgeons to perform complex minimally invasive surgical procedures with precision and accuracy. The system is an advanced robotic platform designed to expand the surgeons capabilities and offer an option to open surgery (UC Health,2021). This machine will help by providing more precise surgeries, faster recovery time, less blood for the patient, and less scaring. The daVinci robot can help to improve the efficiency in which doctors are able to do their surgeries, and also cut down the infection rates from the surgeries. Certain diseases can also be detected early on since the surgeon will be able to see more accurately other areas of the body while they are operating. Saving costs for early detection. Benefits of da Vinci robotic surgery. Compared to traditional techniques, the very small incisions created by robotic surgery drastically reduce patients time in the hospital and their risk of infections. The use of high-definition 3D cameras allows surgeons close-up views of areas they arent able to see during open surgery. Fully articulating robotic arms mimic the movement of hands, allowing surgeons to have greater dexterity and control than is possible with conventional laparoscopic instruments (GMHC, n.d). Not only will the daVinci cut down the infection rate, it can help with costs with early detection, save on blood transfusions, cut the need for pain medications back, and help free up space in the hospital by having shorter hospital stays. The daVinci robot can also be a great asset when treating cancers such as prostate, stomach, liver, head and neck, and colorectal cancers. The minimally less invasive procedure can help by not damaging another tissue that the cancer has not damaged, and also potentially prevent spreading.
Some disadvantages of the machine are some of the surgeries may have to be performed in unnatural positions which can increase the chances for nerve damage for the patient, the potential for a nearby organ to be hit is greater, there is no required national training for the machine, the machine can malfunction at any time during surgery, and the costs will be higher for these types of surgeries. It really comes down to a case-by-case basis it seems. Some surgeries the benefits may outweigh the risks it would depend on the patient’s situation, and what was being done in order to determine if the daVinci robot would be a good fit or not. Luke 1:37 For nothing will be impossible with God. (Smith,2021).

Discussion Thread: The healthcare organization that you are working for has asked you to provide a marketing analysis of opportunities surrounding the purchasing of a da Vinci Surgical Robot for their projected return on investment. Develop a plan for what factors should be reviewed for this acquisition. You are not required to complete the financial projections, just to identify and discuss the factors that should be addressed.
