Robotic Endolaparoscopic Operating Theatre

The set-up of the operating theatre (OT) has evolved and diversified from its humble beginnings to as simple as a kitchen table centuries ago to a theatre today with high-definition technology and all the equipment and tools at the surgeons’ fingertips. Previously the OT was designed to accommodate the patient. The surgeon and the operating room staff adapted to the environment. With the coincident development and refinement in anaesthesia, undergoing surgery became safer, and more operations were being performed. Designs for renovation of the OT to accommodate the growing needs for equipment and tools of both the surgeon and the anaesthesiologist started to unfold.
