Abstract

Now there is an active development of computer technologies and robotics and its introduction in various fields of life and branches of science. One of the important applications of robots is medicine. The speed of introduction of medical robots is comparable with the speed of introduction of the first computers. However, Russian manufacturers lag behind their foreign counterparts, so we know little about the capabilities and diversity of medical robots. Purpose. To analyze the possibility of using robot-assisted systems in operations in the head and neck. Materials and methods. Search for articles by keyword in the PubMed and specialized journals. Results. The history of the use of TORS in animal experiments begins in 2003, when Haus B.M. et al. performed a series of operations on the neck of four animals using the robot da Vinci. In 2005, I.K. McLeod and P.C. Melder performed the first surgery in the head and neck - removed a follicular cyst with the help of a robot, with access through the mouth, without creating an external access. In 2016, Holsinger F. C. published the results of a pre-clinical trial of a prototype da Vinci SP robot on corpses for use in the TORS operation. This robot-assisted system had one flexible manipulator with tools and a camera, which made it more ergonomic. In Russia, the first operation using the da Vinci robot was performed in 2007. At the beginning of July 2018, 25 robots operate in various clinics. It is planned to create a training center for robotic surgery on the basis of the RAS, the Russian surgical robot is being developed. Summary. Robot-assisted operations in the head and neck have significant clinical and economic advantages over traditional methods of surgical treatment in this area. The development of medical robotics, in our opinion, is an important area that can raise medicine to a whole new level.

Key words:
