Feature
Another important advantage is the restoration of
proper hand-eye coordination and an ergonomic
position. These robotic systems eliminate the fulcrum
effect, making instrument manipulation more intuitive.
With the surgeon sitting at a remote, ergonomically
designed workstation, current systems also eliminate
the need to twist and turn in awkward positions to
move the instruments and visualize the monitor.

Seamless camera controlling
The enhanced vision with 3-dimensional view with
depth perception is a marked improvement over the
conventional laparoscopic camera views. Also to one's
advantage is the surgeon's ability to directly control a
stable visual field with increased magnification and
maneuverability. All of this creates images with
increased resolution that, combined with the increased
degrees of freedom and enhanced dexterity, greatly

Senhance Robotic system is the only system in the
World which allows the surgeon to control the
instruments and the camera at the same time by using
an eye sensing technology, where the camera follows

Less pain and scarring
The robotic 'hands' have a high degree of dexterity,
allowing surgeons the ability to operate in very tight
spaces in the body that would otherwise only be
accessible through open (long incision) surgery.
Compared to open surgery (traditional surgery with
incisions), robotic and minimally invasive surgery
results in smaller incisions resulting in less pain and
scarring.
Furthermore, technological innovation in health care is
an important driver of cost growth. Doctors and
patients often embrace new modes of treatment before
their merits and weaknesses are fully understood.
These technologies can lead to revenue growth, either
because they are simply more expensive than previous
treatments or because their introduction leads to an
expansion in the types and numbers of patients
treated.
“Senhance Robotics provide responsible economics to
the hospital by reducing the actual cost of the robotic
surgery to the same level as today's current costs,
while providing all the advantages of Robotic Sugery.
An Improved 3D HD vision enhances the surgeon's
visibility during surgery, and potentially improves the
patient's outcome,” concluded Mr Matari.
