In the past 10 years, laparoscopy has been challenged by robotic surgery; nevertheless, laparoscopic techniques are subject to continuous change. Ultrahigh definition is the next development in video technology, it delivers fourfold more detail than full high definition resulting in improved fine detail, increased texture, and an almost photographic emulsion of smoothness of the image. New 4K ultrahigh-definition technology might remove the current need for the use of polarized glasses. New devices for laparoscopy include advanced sealing devices, instruments with six degrees of freedom, ergonomic platforms with armrests and a chest support, and camera holders. A manually manipulated robot-like device is still at the experimental stage. Robot-assisted surgery has substantially revolutionized laparoscopy, increasing its distribution; however, robot-assisted surgery is associated with considerable costs. All technical improvements of laparoscopic surgery are extremely valuable to further simplify the use of classical laparoscopy.

Several console-based robots for laparoscopic multi- and single-port surgery are expected to come to market within the next 5 years. Future developments in the field of robotic surgery are likely to focus on the specific features of robotic arms, instruments, console, and video technology. The high technical standards of four da Vinci generations have set a high bar for upcoming devices. Ultimately, the implementation of these upcoming systems will depend on their clinical applicability and costs. How these technical developments will facilitate surgery and whether their use will translate into better outcomes for our patients remains to be determined.

“…The hyperelastic wire (made of Nitinol) and driving tube was pre-bent into a certain shape (Figure 1B). The hyperelastic wire was inserted into the constraint tube as Herrell et al (12). The angle and the location of the hyperelastic wire and the driving tube could be easily adjusted by changing their lengths outstretched the rigid tube or sleeve.…”

Background: Hysteroscopy is regarded as the golden standard for the therapeutic and diagnostic methods of many uterine diseases. Carbon dioxide, normal saline and pharmaceuticals are generally used to dilate the uterus to obtain enough operating space and clear vision during the surgery. However, these methods often cause various syndromes.Methods: In this study, we designed a novel mechanical dilator and operating system. The dilator contains a structure with a diameter of 9 mm in its initial status to pass through the narrow cervix after initial cervical dilation by cervical dilator and then its diameter can be expanded up to 60 mm in the working status to achieve a favorable operating space. The operating system is composed of an endoscope and the surgical instrument driving tube. The endoscope was motioned by pre-bent hyperelastic wires and the surgical instrument was driven by a pre-bent driving tube. To obtain the parameters for successful expansion and operation, the relationships between the tension, the diameter of the dilator and the visual and operating space of the operating system were analyzed in detail. On the basis of the obtained parameters, the surgical experiment was performed and the experimental results demonstrated the ability of this dilator to expand and the ability of the operator to operate in small spaces for hysteroscopy.Results: According to the achieved results, the dilator could support the inner wall of the simulated organ to act like a cage, so that the space in the cage was large enough. The operating system can thrust into the intracavity of the simulated uterus through the channel (with a diameter of 6 mm) of the dilator to search for and excise the raised polyp.Conclusions: It can be concluded that the proposed dilator and operating system can be efficiently applied in organ expansion and operation in hysteroscopy.
