Adequate Use and Implementation of Robotic Assisted Surgery (RAS) in Nigerian Healthcare: A Conceptual Literature Review Approach.
Subject area: Science,Engineering and Technology · Area of research: Artificial Intelligence, Robotic in Health Science
Abstract
This study was motivated due to the identified problems and issues surrounding the implementation and adoption of artificial intelligent (AI) and its adoption to reduce if not all the rate of health challenges associated with surgery handling witnessed in our healthcare centres especially during emergency situations when the professional surgeon are not within the healthcare centre. The problems includes: poor technological infrastructure in the healthcare centres, there is no documented use of any of the past utilized surgical robot in the history of Nigerian medicine, negligence of those in power to provide basic tools/training to support use of RAS in the healthcare, lack of AI industry to support/provide easy training and implementation of RAS in the healthcare The western world such as United State of America, United Kingdom and china as mentioned in the study has invested so much in their healthcare systems while Africa (eg. Nigeria) is still battling with corrupt a practice which has caused the increase of mortality rate of their citizens. The aim is to assess the use of robotic assisted surgery (RAS) within and outside Nigeria while the objectives of this research is to assess the use of RAS in Nigerian healthcare centres, to assess traditional methods of surgery and adoption of RAS, to outline the significance of RAS Nigerian healthcare for better health delivery and accurate outcome, to outline the other health application areas RAS can be used in treatment and to state advantages and disadvantages of the use of RAS in Nigerian healthcare. The study adopted conceptual review of literature publications, journal studies, magazine, social media discussions and medical professional discussions on use and significance of RAS with more emphasis to application and adoption of RAS in Nigeria and how prepared artificial intelligence in Nigeria is seen compared to other counties. The result was able to show the various limitations on the use of RAS and its complications when applied in surgical operation and also reviled that Nigerian has no plans on the adoption of RAS and AI industry that could help in production and maintenance of AI system such as RAS and hence suggest that National computer society of Nigeria (NCS), ministry of health , ministry of technologies and other robotic organizations in Nigeria should team up to ensure that computer aided devices (RAS) are provided and provide adequate training and asses to tools for personnel?s and healthcare centres to use.
