D1.1 – Requirements for surgical actions

The aim of this document is to collect all the clinical and safety requirements of the SARAS surgical benchmark procedures.
SARAS Deliverable 1.1 is structured as follows:

•  The first part (Chapter 2) is divided into three main sections each one focusing on a specific surgical procedure (i.e. RARP, LRN and LPN), comprehensive of the anatomical site description, clinical details on the pathology and procedural workflow in the current practice carried out at the San Raffaele Hospital (pre-operative preparation, position of patient, surgical instruments chosen, procedure and post-operative course). Particular attention has been paid to the interaction and coordination between the first surgeon – operating at the da Vinci console (only for RARP) – and the assistant;
•  Chapter 3 provides a description of the Risk Analysis performed for each procedure. Being the corresponding task 1.2 due for the second part of the first project year (M7-M12), this study is not included in the current version of D1.1 and will be integrated at M12;
•  Chapter 4 describes the SARAS simplified models of the RARP and LR/PN procedures, suitable to be translated in mathematical terms for the implementation of project solutions;
•  Chapter 5 separates the clinical requirements into two categories: phantoms-related requirements and procedures-related ones;
•  The attached documents (Annexes to Deliverable D1.1) include the appendices which provide further information concerning the researches carried out, but that have not been included in the main part of the text in order to ease the reading of the document.
