Minimally Invasive Surgery Market

COVID-19 Poses Great Challenges for Clinical Work of Surgeons Practicing MIS

As elective operations are being cancelled and surgeons are being called to perform only emergency or carcinological surgeries, increased precautions are being taken while operating on patients who are potentially or proven to be COVID-19 positive. Such trends are altering the way stakeholders function in the minimally invasive surgery market.

The laparoscopic surgery is associated with the establishment and maintenance of an artificial pneumoperitoneum, which increases the risk of exposure to aerosol by the operation team. This is anticipated to create business expansion challenges for stakeholders in the minimally invasive surgery market, as previously HIV, activated Corynebacterium, and papillomavirus have been detected in surgical smoke where several doctors were infected. Hence, stakeholders are following guidelines laid down by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to ensure continuity in healthcare services.

High Level Training, Lack of Development in MIS Inhibit Market Growth

The minimally invasive surgery market is slated to surpass US$ 23.6 Bn by 2031. However, minimally invasive surgery (MIS) techniques are still in their nascent stage, especially in context with spinal surgeries, as they have been recently introduced in the healthcare landscape. Moreover, MIS requires high level of training, which is potentially increasing costs for healthcare facilities and medical professionals aiming for healthcare education. As such, advantages such as smaller cuts as opposed to large incisions by traditional surgeries and relatively less trauma are boosting the popularity for MIS.

Rapid Innovations in Compact, Flexible Robotic Systems

Robotic-assisted surgical systems are becoming compact, flexible, and deploy precision in MIS. Med-tech companies in the minimally invasive surgery market are increasing their R&D muscle to develop robotic systems that mimic the features of the daVinci surgical system where the latter is gaining prominence in urology and gynecology. As such, the Senhance surgical robotic system by TransEnterix - a specialist in laparoscopy and robotic-assisted surgery are posing as a rival to the daVinci surgical system.

Manufacturers in the minimally invasive surgery market are increasing the availability of robotic systems that are equipped with standard reusable instruments utilized during oncology and cancer surgery. The proliferation of artificial intelligence (AI) and complex algorithms in robotic systems are contributing to market growth.

Robot-assisted Technology Possesses Potential to Achieve Exact Insertion of Cochlear Implants

Tubular continuum robots hold promising potentials for minimally invasive surgeries. Companies in the minimally invasive surgery market are increasing their production capabilities in such robotic systems, which help to remove tumors in hard-to-reach regions including the pituitary gland. Medical experts at the Hannover Medical School and the International Neuroscience Institute are gaining recognition for increasing their research to innovate in tubular continuum robots.

It is challenging to achieve exact placement and insertion of cochlear implants and ensure the best hearing results. Thus, manufacturers in the minimally invasive surgery market are innovating in the robot-assisted technology, which supports surgeons in such kinds of difficult tasks.

Ergonomically Sound Laparoscopy Devices Provide Best Postural Comfort during MIS

FDA, ISO, and CE clearance have become crucial for supply of MIS tools and instruments. Dex Surgical - a France-based manufacturer of robotized instruments for laparoscopic surgery, is boosting its credibility by complying with regulations of the FDA, CE, and ISO standards for its MIS tools and instruments which help to improve medical outcomes. Companies in the minimally invasive surgery market are setting their collaboration wheels in motion with medical experts and surgeons to acquire patents in MIS devices.

Manufacturers in the minimally invasive surgery market are developing mechatronics system, which involve a combination of micromechanics, software engineering, and embedded electronics to deliver safe and precise MIS procedures that are ergonomically sound during laparoscopic surgeries. Manufacturers are developing articulated handles in laparoscopy devices that provide best postural comfort and eliminate wrist strain.

Analysts’ Viewpoint

Unexpected, unprecedented, and radical modifications caused by the coronavirus pandemic are reflecting in MIS procedures, as healthcare professionals and surgeons increase efforts to prevent and manage aerosol dispersion in operating rooms. Telesurgery and virtual reality applications are opening up new possibilities for robotic-assisted surgical systems that help to achieve exact placement and insertion of cochlear implant to ensure the best hearing results. However, risks associated with minimally invasive spine surgery involve infection or pain at the surface area of the procedure. Hence, companies in the minimally invasive surgery market should recommend patients to consult doctors to receive a full list of potential complications and acquire extensive MIS treatment options.
