patients who have undergone previous surgeries tend to have a risk of what?

what piece of the da vinci system provides 3-D images of the surgical site 

The clarity of an image that the camera provides depends on what?

Robotic manipulators are considered sterile and therefore do not require draping

alternative to veress needles for establishing pneumoperitoneum in patients with adhesions

procedures like laparoscopy, pelviscopy and arthroscopy fall into which category of surgery

The extent to which a machine, microscope, human, or robot can differentiate between two objects

which instrument is used to move tissues around and usually capable of electrosurgery

which procedures are commonly performed with the patient in lithotomy position 

During routine robotic surgery procedures, where is the surgeon?

by operating the control head of the flexible scope we are able to obtain

"Necessity is the mother of invention"

Which procedure is primarily used in diagnostic procedures?

after the leak test the endoscope is then 

to prevent damage to the scope you should never carry or hold it where? 

what does the endocoupler do?

NOTES

LESS, SALS, and OPUS are all acronyms for

this is a solid rod with a tapered or sharp point that fits inside a hollow tube

Which generation of robots does NOT have any degree of artificial intelligence (AI) and requires consistent oversight?

bronchoscopy, laryngoscopy, mediastinoscopy are typically performed in what position 

What is the name of the complex robotic operating system created and marketed by Intuitive Surgical?

this is used to asses anatomy, obtain biopsies and can perform minor procedures 

Type of surgical lighting referred to as "cold light"

During most laparoscopic cases the lights in the room are

when the scope is introduced into the body the temperature difference creates what on the lens

what is used in place of suture ligatures to occlude blood vessels or ducts during MIS surgery

Performing a surgical procedure in real time from a distant location

Right and left movements of a robotic manipulator with 3-D capability

what is used to create a pneumoperitoneum?

what could happen if we turn on the fiberoptic light cable prior to attaching to the system

What does “degree of freedom” mean in relation to robots?

Robots are classified into how many generations?

Cartesian coordinate geometry uses the system of graphing mathematical functions and moves robotic manipulators X,Y,Z
