Early-stage cancer of the digestive system can be cured with endoscopic surgery.
Advancements in the early diagnostic technology and diagnostic systems continues to allow more and more patients to benefit from endoscopic surgery worldwide.
Trends in the growth of early gastric cancer in Korea
Trends in the participation of the colorectal cancer screening in the United States
Trends in the growth of the market size for global endoscopic surgery-related medical devices
Trends in the growth of the market size for global robot endoscopy equipment
However, it is currently difficult to apply endoscopic surgery to clinical surgery due to the structural limitations of the endoscope as well as the high perforation rate.
In the conventional endoscopic surgery
The movement of the endoscope is limited and
it is not easy to access affected areas.
Surgery has to be carried out with only one scope
and it is challenging to apply traction to the affected tissue.What is traction?
What is traction?
A phenomenon that the mucous membrane is pushed and the view is blocked when the procedure is conducted without traction
The mucous membrane is lifted with a traction tool to allow dissection
Due to the high difficulty of the operation, it requires highly skilled medical staff. Nevertheless, it records a high perforation rate.
Therefore, many patients around the world are not yet enjoying the benefits of endoscopic surgery.
We would like to introduce you to the EndoRobotic's solution

Cases examples of the application of major indicationsEndoscopic Submucosal Dissection - Endoscopic surgery for cancer
Conventional endoscopic surgery
In the conventional endoscopic surgery, the mucous membrane blocks the view,making it difficult for medical staff to distinguish the submucosal layer from the muscular layer.This lengthens the operation time, making it more likely for the knife to penetrate the muscle layer.
Robotic Endoscopic Submucosal Dissection
The multi-joint forceps of the RoSE platformsecure traction by holding, lifting, and pulling the mucous membrane with a robotic arm,thus ensuring a broader view of the area where the surgery is conducted.This improves the safety of dissection and significantly reduces the perforation rate.

Convenient operation
The power transmission cable of the RoSE platform has the flexibility of more than 720 degrees of cumulated angle and the technology to control 2m in length. As a result, it allows the endoscope to enter deeply into the complex and curved length of the digestive system.
With the real-time tension control technology, the RoSE platform allows the surgery to be conducted without any malfunction of the robot even from changes related to the patient's movement or external environment that occur during surgery.
The endoscopic surgical robot must have a diameter of 16 mm or less to enter the digestive system.The robot forceps of the RoSE platform are the smallest in size in the world with a diameter of 15mm to freely pass through the overtube currently used in clinical practice.
The RoSE platform is highly compatible with the existing diagnostic endoscopy platform.The driving unit can be installed together with the existing driving unit of the endoscope, and the multi-degree-of-freedom robot forceps and operation unit are also easily mounted and removed from the endoscope.
The driving unit of the RoSE platform is operated with an image-based touch screen,and the robot forceps are operated with an intuitive joystick.Since the joystick is mounted on the endoscope,no additional medical staff is required to operate the RoSE platform.
