Evidence

Working in the laboratory is not the test.

Surgical technology has to be intuitive for clinicians, acceptable to patients, practical for hospitals and supported by evidence that stands up to scrutiny. Victor is being developed alongside surgeons, patients and healthcare systems, following the IDEAL framework for the evaluation of surgical innovation and the IDEAL Collaboration's guidance on robotic surgery, which Hani and Dan contributed to developing. Panda Surgical has committed to those principles from first concept through to clinical adoption.

We are generating evidence in four areas

Clinical safety and effectiveness

How Victor affects procedures, outcomes and patient care.

Usability, training and adoption

How Victor fits the theatre team, how surgeons learn to use it safely, and how it can be introduced responsibly into practice.

Patient acceptability

How patients understand and experience surgery supported by Victor.

Value and sustainability

Whether Victor improves access, efficiency and outcomes affordably and sustainably for healthcare systems.
