of an instrument arm after the arm drape has been fitted. Each instrument type has the same attachment head and a shaft of 6.8mm diameter. The attachment head has latches for attaching the instrument to the arm, and fins, which mechanically drive the instrument during surgery. The distal joint can rotate 720° on its own axis for greater maneuverability. The endoscopes have a 10mm diameter shaft and a 300 mm working length. It comes with 0-degree and 30-degree scopes, which can be attached 30° up or 30° down. It can be moved up–down and left–right. It provides an 81.1° of view. The magnification is 15x with 3D high-definition vision (3DHD). The surgeon needs to put on polarizing 3D glasses for 3D visualization. The head-up display has the option of visual­izing in 2D vision also if the surgeon desires so. The visualization unit needs an 11mm port, while all the instrument ports are 5mm. Applied Medical bal­loon ports are one among the validated ports for use with the 10mm robotic endoscope and 5mm wristed instruments. Inappropriate port size could lead to an incorrect fulcrum being detected during port training. One of the biggest advantages of this system is that the laparoscopic port placement can be repli­cated for any surgery and a distance of min 5–6cm from each port is enough to avoid arm clash. Post training of the arm, the instrument tip has to be a min of 2cm intracorporeally to start functioning. Apart from the robotic ports, stan­dard laparoscopic ports can be used by the assistant surgeon for additional retraction, suction, mopping with gauze, use of staplers, use of choledocho­scope, etc. The assistant surgeon can shift the elbow of the robotic arm without disturbing the intracorporeal position of the instrument and fit in at any posi­tion for putting up a port and assistance, with minimal risk of injury to the assistant surgeon due to extracorporeal movement of the instrument arms. In contrast to laparoscopic surgeries, where the standard laparoscopic endoscope needs to be repeatedly cleaned and dipped in hot water to avoid fogging, the problem of fogging of the robotic camera lens is virtually nonexistent due to constant smoke evacuation and achieving the desired electrocautery effect at very low-level settings. Although the Versius Surgical System was validated using a Wolf Endo light system, the light sources of various other companies are compatible. The instruments can be used multiple times, and the life of each instrument varies. All instruments are supplied nonsterile and must be cleaned and steam sterilized before each use. The Versius robotic system requires an Internet connection with an average upload bandwidth of up to 2Mbps for use in analyzing and improving Versius, and analyzing and improv­ing minimal access surgical techniques. This data is uploaded using a wired Ethernet connection to the Internet. Versius will function normally if there is no connection to the Internet, but data will not be uploaded. This system is indicated for adult use only. The Versius Surgical System requires no routine adjustments to maintain operation and must be serviced only by CMR Surgical or by an appointed agent (Figs.5.15, 5.16, and 5.17).
