Eliminating transabdominal morbidity
Under the leadership and guidance of Dr. Karl-Hermann Fuchs and Dr. Patricia Sylla, both serving on our Scientific Advisory Board, we are developing a surgical solution for less invasive Transanal Colon Resection (TaCR) with the aim of eliminating any access related transabdominal morbidity to improve recovery and lower readmission rates.
Together with his son, Dr. Hans F. Fuchs, several cadaver and dry lab studies were performed with a modified version of the symphonX™ Surgical Platform. These results were presented as part of the Emerging Technology Session of the SAGES 2016 Annual Meeting in Boston (March 2016) and the Amazing Technology Session of the 25th International Congress of the European Association for Endoscopic Surgery (EAES) in Frankfurt am Main (June 2017) by Dr. Hans F. Fuchs, and during the American Society For Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ASGE) NOSCAR Summit in Downers Grove (July 2017) by Dr. Karl-Hermann Fuchs.
