BACKGROUND: During minimally invasive surgery (either robotic or traditional laparoscopic), vascular injuries may occur because of inadvertent surgical tool movements or actions. These vascular injuries can lead to arterial or venous bleeding with va...
This paper describes the design and testing of a gripper developed for handling of delicate and flexible tissues during minimally invasive surgery. The device operates on the Bernoulli principle for generating hight-speed flow between the gripper and...
In recent years, robot-assisted thoracic surgery is gaining more and widespread interest in Europe. Due to the narrow space and the complexity of anatomical structures, conventional minimally invasive mediastinal surgery may be challenging for the th...
A number of developed countries are rapidly turning into super-aged societies. Consequently, the demand for reduced surgical invasiveness and enhanced efficiency in the medical field has increased due to the need to reduce the physical burden on olde...
