“…Given these limitations, it is crucial to develop devices that can not only improve the delivery of the laser to the surgical site but also simplify the surgeon-machine interface while overcoming the challenges of controllability and ergonomics. The introduction of endoscopic surgery in TLM has the potential to address these limitations in a similar way as it has done in other procedures [45,46].…”

“…Thus, the optimization of the constraints can be defined as: placing four electromagnetic coils with maximum possible sizes inside a cylindrical tool with minimum outer diameter. In the current proof-of-concept design, the overall diameter of the tool is restricted to be less than 15 mm [44,45].…”

This article presents the design and assembly of a novel magnetically actuated endoscopic laser scanner device. The device is designed to perform 2D position control and high speed scanning of a fiber-based laser for operation in narrow workspaces. The device includes laser focusing optics to allow non-contact incisions and tablet-based control interface for intuitive teleoperation. The performance of the proof-of-concept device is analysed through controllability and the usability studies. The computer-controlled high-speed scanning demonstrates repeatable results with 21 µm precision and a stable response up to 48 Hz. Teleoperation user trials, were performed for trajectory-following tasks with 12 subjects, show an accuracy of 39 µm. The innovative design of the device can be applied to both surgical and diagnostic (imaging) applications in endoscopic systems.

Combining laser technology with robotic precision and accuracy promises to introduce significant advances in minimally invasive surgical interventions. Lasers have already become a widespread tool in numerous surgical applications. They are proposed as a replacement for traditional tools (i.e., scalpels and electrocautery devices) to minimize surgical trauma, decrease healing times, and reduce the risk of postoperative complications. Compared to other energy sources, laser energy is wavelength‐dependent, allowing for preferential energy absorption in specific tissue types. This potentially leads to minimizing damage to healthy tissue and increasing surgical outcomes control and quality. Merging robotic control with laser techniques can help physicians achieve more accurate laser aiming and pave the way to automatic control of laser–tissue interactions in closed loop. Herein, a review of the state‐of‐the‐art robotic systems for laser surgery is presented. The goals of this paper are to present recent contributions in advanced intelligent systems for robot‐assisted laser surgery, provide readers with a better understanding of laser optics and the physics of laser–tissue interactions, discuss clinical applications of lasers in surgery, and provide guidance for future systems design.
