Overview of the Global Robotics Surgical Simulation Systems Market
The global incidence of surgical errors was acknowledged to be 5.5 million in 2008. Witnessing a compound annual growth rate of 3.91%, the surgical errors incidence was conceded to be 7.9 million in 2018. Acknowledging the growth in the past ten years, the surgical errors incidence is anticipated to reach a devastating figure of 10.5 million by 2029. The associated economic burden is expected to reach $161 billion by 2029. Presently, one in every 16 surgical procedures in the U.S. is recognized to be a surgical error. In 2018, the U.S. witnessed approximately three million cases of surgical errors. The scenario gets further baffling if the statistics associated with other developed countries, such as Japan, and China, come into focus. The countries together contributed to approximately 66% of the global incidence of surgical errors. China registered the second-highest incidence of surgical errors.
The procedural incompetence and lack of adequate pre-operative planning are the leading causes of surgical errors. Together, the two factors contributed to 51% of surgical error cases witnessed in the last ten years. Apart from them, poor peer communication is acknowledged to be attributing to 12% of cases.
Hence, the statistics evidently show that the lack of adequate surgical training is the predominant cause of massive surgical errors’ incidence. The growing emphasis on patient safety is strengthening the obligation of decreasing the dependency of surgical training over the apprentice-mentor relationship and operating room-based training.
Robotics surgical simulation systems are one of the ground-breaking technologies which hold an enormous potential to transfigure the surgical education practices. The recent advancements in computational technologies augmented by the immeasurable knowledge of the functioning of the human body have made disruptive technologies such as robotic simulation systems, a reality.
The key abilities of robotics surgical simulation system, are:
1. Provision of standardized-safe practice for surgical training with iterative practice freedom
2. Scope for developing case-specific operative planning
3. Provision of realistic scenario to the utmost accuracy
4. Scope for framework enabling training for the entire operational team
5. Provision of the competency-based framework which enables performance assessment

In the year 2018, the global economic burden due to surgical errors was acknowledged to be $98.66 billion. Owing to the massive increase in incidences of surgical errors, the global economic burden is anticipated to grow at 6.35% in the next 10 years (2019-2029). In the U.S., over $15 billion is spent on medical training per year, half of which is wasted on methods, which are expensive, antiquated, and non-repeatable, offering very little chance of any hands-on practice to students.
Additionally, very little change can be observed over the years in the methods in which surgeons are trained. Majority of the hands-on practices still rely upon cadavers, which cost on an average $13,000 or more and can only be used to train only 4-6 students. Reusable, synthetic cadavers, on the other hand, cost in excess of $40,000. Moreover, limited work hours have also restricted surgical trainees the exposure to operative procedures and the ability to practice those associated technical skills.
Thus, governments and the respective regulatory authorities in many countries have introduced stringent measures to keep a check on ensuring patient safety and implementing surgical checklists to reduce errors associated with improper work process and negligence. Hence, with the advent of proficiency-based evaluation over the traditional time-based model, simulation is the potential solution for bridging the gap between the errors in the current method of training and the restraint of high cost.
The growing incidences of surgical errors have significantly elevated the requirement of a shift from the operating room (OR)-based training to competency-based training model. In addition, with the lack of the traditional apprenticeship model, there is growing popularity of virtual reality-based robotic simulation systems among the physicians’ community.
Training over the VR simulation system mimics the realistic scenario to the utmost accuracy, thereby providing the team of surgeons with the opportunity to test several possible procedural scenarios to develop novel, efficient case-specific tactics. Analogous to how pilots train for bird strikes or engine failure, surgeons are also confronted with varying scenarios ranging from abnormal anatomy to rare complications that can arise during live procedures, such as unexpected bleeding.
Hence, the enhanced surgical skills aided by the development of type-specific clinical capabilities will substantially reduce the scope of surgical errors. For instance, several research studies have revealed that training on virtual reality simulators required 29% lesser times to perform the intended procedure.
According to the latest report, titled ‘Global Robotics Surgical Simulation Systems Market - Analysis and Forecast (2019-2024)’, the market for robotics simulation systems generated $276.5 million revenue in 2018 and is projected to reach $1.03 billion by 2024.
