The Virtuoso Surgical System is a revolutionary robotic platform that improves the tools for rigid endoscopic surgery, which is an untapped and large market within minimally invasive surgery. The Virtuoso System provides surgeons with unprecedented (2 arm) bi-manual dexterity with precision and force. The system allows surgeons to do retraction, precision, and operative maneuvers that have not been possible. The system shows early evidence of improving performance of current complex procedures through a standard rigid endoscope, making them faster, safer, and easier to learn and translate to more patients. The VSI robotic platform also has surgeons excited to perform new procedures that have never been possible with such a minimally invasive entry.
Robert Webster is the primary inventor of the Virtuoso device's base technology, and he provides strategic technical leadership to the Virtuoso Surgical team. He is a professor of mechanical and electrical engineering at Vanderbilt University, where his research focuses on the intersection of engineering and surgery. Throughout his career, he has invented and developed many novel robotic surgical systems and has 38 awarded and pending patents. He is also a co-founder of the Vanderbilt Institute for Surgery & Engineering.
Dr. Duke Herrell is the Interim Chief Executive Officer and Chief Medical Officer at Virtuoso. He is a urologic surgeon at Vanderbilt University Medical Center and a pioneer in minimally-invasive surgical techniques and robotic surgery. He is a co-founder of the Vanderbilt Institute for Surgery and Engineering.
Richard Hendrick leads and manages all engineering and day-to-day business operations at Virtuoso. He received his Ph.D. from Vanderbilt University, where his research focused on the control mechanisms at the heart of the Virtuoso device. Based on that research, along with Drs. Webster and Herrell, Dr. Hendrick invented the Virtuoso Device.
