Applications of micromechatronics in minimally invasive surgery

F. Tendick,
S.S. Sastry,
R.S. Fearing
et al.

Abstract: Abstract-Many surgical procedures are now performed using the techniques of minimally invasive surgery (MIS), in which unnecessary trauma is limited by reducing the size of incisions to less than about 1 cm or by using catheters or endoscopes threaded through vessels, the gastrointestinal tract, or other tubular structures. Micromechatronic technologies have great potential to allow access to regions now inaccessible, or to enhance the surgeon's abilities in applications where current minimally invasive techni… Show more

“…Though initially limited to specific kinds of operations, MIS has now become a standard and widely used surgical procedure, replacing most of the traditional open-surgery procedures [Tendick et al 1998]. MIS has substantial benefits over traditional open surgeries, which require large incisions to allow the surgeon access to perform procedures at the operation site [Carrozza et al 2003].…”
