Toronto’s Titan Medical installed its first single-port robotic surgery system at Florida Hospital Nicholson Center and announced the completion of its first preclinical feasibility and validation studies.

Titan’s Sport Surgical System is designed to perform minimally invasive procedures via a single incision, or port. The studies completed at Florida Hospital include the world’s first gynecologic, colorectal and urologic procedures performed using the device, Titan Medical said in a statement.

The system includes a surgeon workstation with a display and controllers, as well as a surgeon-controlled patient cart with multiarticulating instruments for performing minimally invasive surgery. It provides a 3D endoscopic view inside the patient’s body during procedures.

"Under the expert guidance of renowned surgeons Dr. Ricardo Estape, Dr. Eduardo Parra-Davila and Dr. Vipul Patel, we confirmed the feasibility of single port abdominal robotic surgery with our unique multi-articulated robotic instruments and 3D high-definition visualization in a variety of surgical procedures,” said Titan CEO David McNally, in the statement.
