STMO-06 SMART CYBER OPERATING THEATER REALIZED BY INTERNET OF THINGS - RESULTS OF CLINICAL STUDY FOR 56 CASES

Abstract

PURPOSEUnlike conventional operating rooms that provide a sterilized space, we have developed a Smart Cyber Operating Theater (SCOT) in which the room itself performs treatment as a single medical device. We report the clinical results of 3 types of SCOT.METHODSBasic SCOT packaged with intraoperative MRI (0.4Tesla) was introduced in Hiroshima University in 2016. Standard SCOT networked with middleware OPeLiNK was introduced to Shinshu University in 2018, and Hyper SCOT introduced to Tokyo Women’s Medical University in 2019.RESULTSThe average of all 56 patients was 44 years old. There were 38 brain tumors (68%), 11 functional diseases (19%), and 7 orthopedic diseases (13%). Basic SCOT is used for 41 cases (/56; 73%) with 22 gliomas, 10 epilepsies, 7 bone tumors, and 2 benign brain tumors. Standard SCOT with 20 networked devices is used for 14 cases (/56; 25%) with 6 gliomas including brain stem and thalamus, 6 pituitary tumors and 2 benign brain tumors. The strategy desk can display a variety of digital data synchronized in time, and the review and comment functions also operate. It is useful for remote advice through mutual communication via strategy desk. Hyper SCOT was used in February 2019 for the first case (1/56 cases; 2%). MRI images were taken with an average of 1.3 shots with good image quality. For 46/56 neoplastic lesions (82%), additional removal of residual tumor was performed in 31/46 cases (67%), and 26/46 cases (57%) were totally removed, with an average removal rate of 89.2%. There was no reoperation (0%) within 1 month in all cases.CONCLUSIONSThree types of SCOT contributed to planned surgical outcome including maximal tumor resection without serious related complications. We will proceed with verification of clinical effects, and develop robotized devices, and utilize AI for strategy desk at Hyper SCOT.
