CYBER SURGERY SL

Cyber Surgery is a start-up company that is focused in the development of a Robotic Assistant for Spine Surgery, guiding the surgeon in vertebral fusion, a very common and risky procedure. The robot has a patented technology for tracking the patient that allows minimally invasive procedure, improves patient security, reduces the time and cost of the surgery, as well as the hospital recovery time. Even if the company goal is to have a certified product for the European market in the forthcoming years (CE mark), we are continuously looking for new technologies, opportunities and collaborations that can help us to improve our product and provide a better service to our customers.

R+D Projects

Project 1

Name: ASSURE Asistente quirúrgico robotizado seguro y flexible para cirugías de columna mediante guiado inteligente y entorno de formación de realidad virtual
Web: https://cyber-surgery.com/news/cyber-surgery-and-virtualware-complete-assure-project-surgical-robot-and-custom-vr-training-for-surgeons/
Summary:

ASSURE project aims to provide greater safety to the robotic surgical assistant developed by Cyber Surgery. To this end, Cyber Surgery and VirtualWare collaborate together in this project in order to reduce the learning curve of the robotic system by developing a virtual reality training environment. In addition, Cyber Surgery develops an intelligent guidance system within the framework of the project that allows the practitioner to move the robotic assistant more accurately and safely. To properly educate and prepare surgeons in the use of the robotic assistant, the project produced a sophisticated virtual training environment as well.

Project 2

Name: NERO The Next Step in High Precision Robotic Surgery
Web: https://cyber-surgery.com/news/esmera-nero-project-completed-cyber-surgery-designed-surgical-robotics-for-scoliosis-procedures/
Summary:

The Health Tech challenge presented was focused on adapting the existing Cyber Surgery robotic spinal surgery technology to address scoliosis procedures. Since average spinal surgeries only involve 2 or 3 vertebrae, Cyber Surgery had to design and develop new tracking technology for scoliosis interventions where complicated trajectories must be reached and high accuracy levels must be maintained. ESMERA (European SMEs Robotics Applications) promotes the application of robotic technologies developed for industrial challenges, including Health Tech, set by key European companies. To unlock the innovation potential of these robotics SMEs, ESMERA provides mentoring and financial support in addition to an environment for developing, testing and demonstrating new robotic technologies. In November 2020, Cyber Surgery was chosen by ESMERA for its NeRo Experiment, in order to adapt their Robotic Assistant for Spinal Procedures to address very specific needs in the Healthcare market.

Project 3

Name: MAGNUS Mechanical and Anatomical GuidaNce Utilities for spine Surgery

Summary:

MAGNUS (Mechanical and Anatomical GuidaNce Utilities for spine Surgery) aims to improve the experience of interventions performed by robotic surgical assistant, where usability for the surgeon is expanded and exposure to patient radiation is reduced, through the design and development of artificial intelligence and vision algorithms, as well as the design and development of specific hardware. Cyber Surgery collaborates with Vicomtech, Tecnalia, BioDonostia and BioCruces in the project.
