The global minimally invasive surgical systems market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 10.9% from 2020 to 2025, driven by the rapidly increasing demand from the patients undergoing minimally invasive surgical procedures, increasing surgical need, and the surge in the prevalence of colorectal and other gastrointestinal diseases.1<\/sup><\/p>\n New technological advancements, such as miniaturisation of surgical equipment and development of surgical robots, have substantially increased the number of minimally invasive surgeries performed across the world.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy is the gold standard for gall bladder<\/a> surgery and is one of the most common surgeries undertaken worldwide. In the USA an estimated one million Lap Chole\u2019s are undertaken each year, with an estimated 500,000 in Europe.2<\/sup><\/p> Whilst the incidence of Bile Duct<\/a> Injury (BDI) is low at 0.5%, due to the considerable amount of surgeries, this becomes quite a significant number with thousands of resultant patients per year thus sustaining BDI\u2019s, with severe and long term implications for their health.2 The primary cause of error in 97% of Lap Chole cases was a visual perception illusion, which is one of the major drawbacks of an MIS approach.3<\/sup<<\/sup><\/p> \u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t The Bile Duct Injury (BDI) rate with laparoscopic cholecystectomy is reported to be 0.5%1, and while relatively low, when injuries occur, they can be catastrophic.2<\/Sup><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t The primary cause of error in 97% of cases was a visual perception illusion.3<\/sup><\/p>\n Surgeons had a 3-fold improvement in ability to visualise critical bile duct structures using ICG.4<\/sup><\/p>\n Profit margins at hospitals drop from 13% to 1% when complications in lap chole surgeries occur.5<\/sup><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t X-Ray Cholangiography has been used in the past to overcome this visualisation problem.
