Abstract:This study undertook the in vivo measurement of surface pressures applied by the fingers of the surgeon during typical representative retraction movements of key human They also form a basis for the design of next-generation organ retraction and space creation surgical devices with embedded sensors which can further quantify intraoperative retraction forces to reduce injury or trauma to organs and surrounding tissues.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
