A Breakthrough in Remote Surgical Robotics
T
he global market for robotic surgical
systems and their accessories will
reach $10 billion in 2024, with a substantial
increase expected to $15.8 billion by
2030, according to projections by data
and analytics firm Global Data. This
growth reflects the rising demand for
these technologies, fueled by several key
factors: an increasing need for precise,
minimally invasive surgical solutions for
an aging population, a stronger focus
on value-based healthcare to enhance
surgical outcomes, and ongoing technological
advancements that are anticipated
to produce more efficient and less
invasive robotic surgical platforms.
Microbot Medical recently announced
that its Liberty robotic system has advanced
to the next phase of remote telesurgery
evaluation to ensure its safety and
efficacy in a clinical setting. The company
has completed the second round of
preclinical testing with positive results,
demonstrating the system's potential to
enable surgeons to perform procedures
from remote locations with precision
and control. The company recently partnered
with Boston Hospital with the aim
of validating the robot's capabilities in a
clinical setting, paving the way for broader
adoption and integration into surgical
practices. As the system moves closer to
commercialization, it holds the promise
of transforming the future of surgery, according
to Global Data.
