Design and evaluation of a variable stiffness manual operating platform for laparoendoscopic single site surgery (LESS).

The international journal of medical robotics + computer assisted surgery : MRCAS
BACKGROUND: Most of the existing robotic platforms for LESS have workspace and load capacity weaknesses, because of the limitation of one single incision. We have developed a LESS manual operating platform of which the stiffness of the insertion tube...

Development of Surgical System Using Bellows-Type Foldable Five-Fingered Robot Hand Inserted through a 20-mm Port.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
The purpose of this study was to develop a robotic hand to assist with large organs, instead of using a surgeon, in laparoscopic surgery. Grasping, pinching, and exclusion were performed by three subjects with no medical knowledge. The results indica...

A novel compliant surgical robot: Preliminary design analysis.

Mathematical biosciences and engineering : MBE
A robotic surgical system capable of performing minimally invasive surgery (MIS) is proposed in this paper. Based on the requirements of MIS, a compliant, seven- degrees of freedom (7-DOF) pneumatically actuated mechanism is designed. A remote center...

[Technical advancement in surgical treatment of portal hypertension].

Zhonghua gan zang bing za zhi = Zhonghua ganzangbing zazhi = Chinese journal of hepatology
Recently, there have been many developments and improvements in portal hypertension surgery, but there are still many controversies regarding the surgical indications, the timing of surgery, and the choice of surgical procedures. Minimally invasive l...
