Urology Surgical Instruments MarketSize and Trends

Continuous development in robotic-assisted surgeries to drive the market growth

Minimally invasive robotic-assisted surgeries are found to be effective in treating various urological disease and dysfunction, which include kidney cancer, prostate cancer, kidney dysfunction, urinary tract disorders, and congenital abnormalities in children. Loyola medicine, an academic medical center of Loyola University Health System, in 2017, developed a RoboLog, a web-based robotic experience logging system, which records surgical process progression, experience, and provides feedback during robotic assisted surgery. According to the study published in Journal of Surgical Education 2017, RoboLog, was successfully completed and piloted on 310 urologic robotic surgeries. RoboLog developed a reporting structure where surgeon can view statistics like log time and median time for each step involved in robotic surgery.

Titan Medical Inc. in 2017, announced the successful completion of world’s first gynecologic, urological, and colorectal single port robotic procedures, which was performed using advanced prototype named, SPORT Surgical System at Florida Hospital Nicholson Center. Titan Medical Inc. is engaged in the design, development, and commercialization of robotic surgical procedures for application in minimally invasive surgery. Single-port surgery is minimally invasive surgery performed through a single port or incision. Although it is difficult without robotic assistance, it is highly beneficial, due to involvement of fewer ports, low complications, and rapid recovery. Moreover SPORT Surgical System is employed with capabilities to become valuable tool for robotic surgeons to perform single port surgery.

Such advancement in robotic assisted surgery enables the surgeons to perform complex operation in more precise way than conventional surgery, adding to the benefits such as, less blood loss, significantly less pain, lower risk of infection, shorter hospital stay, low recovery time, and better clinical outcome, which is expected to drive the growth of urology surgical instruments market in near future.
