1
00:00:51,740 --> 00:00:55,940
A conjunction of synergies, know-how and needs in the health area.

2
00:00:55,940 --> 00:01:04,420
These are only three of the reasons to initiate research into the area of computer-assisted laparoscopic surgery.

3
00:01:05,340 --> 00:01:09,460
The project consists of the development of a series of technologies

4
00:01:09,580 --> 00:01:13,460
which will allow the surgeon to improve their procedures

5
00:01:13,660 --> 00:01:16,300
in the area of liver surgery,

6
00:01:16,340 --> 00:01:19,780
and in the end, to improve the quality of life for patients.

7
00:01:19,900 --> 00:01:26,780
The aim is to develop a technology based on different systems of monitoring instruments,

8
00:01:27,060 --> 00:01:32,060
control of a robotic arm, also based on medical imaging,

9
00:01:32,060 --> 00:01:35,700
CAT images, resonance, reconstruction of three-dimensional models...

10
00:01:35,740 --> 00:01:40,780
and all this will allow information or rather will provide the surgeon with information

11
00:01:40,860 --> 00:01:45,540
which will let them carry out surgical procedures with much more guarantee of success.

12
00:01:45,740 --> 00:01:51,420
The best thing is that there are multiple health applications and social and economic benefits.

13
00:01:52,180 --> 00:01:57,900
They will permit the use of surgical procedures of greater precision,

14
00:01:58,100 --> 00:02:05,140
they will give the surgeon access to a series of tools which are going to reduce,

15
00:02:05,140 --> 00:02:11,860
for example, loss of blood, they will permit the development of more reliable liver surgery procedures
they will give the surgeon access to a series of tools which are going to reduce,

16
00:02:11,860 --> 00:02:12,100
they will give the surgeon access to a series of tools which are going to reduce,

17
00:02:12,220 --> 00:02:16,500
and all this will help the quality of life of patients.

18
00:02:16,620 --> 00:02:22,220
Post-operative time will be reduced, the stay in hospital,

19
00:02:22,260 --> 00:02:28,060
and health costs associated with post-operative stays in hospital will be reduced.

20
00:02:28,220 --> 00:02:32,820
In addition, it is also intended to place research from Extremadura and Portugal

21
00:02:32,980 --> 00:02:38,300
on the map of excellence of the scientific community in Europe and America.
