Laparoscopic surgeons perform precise and time consuming procedures while holding awkward poses in their upper body and arms. There is an ongoing effort to produce robotic tools for laparoscopic surgery that will simplify these tasks and reduce risk of errors to help both the surgeon and the patient. STIFF-FLOP is an ongoing EU FP7 project focusing on this by creating a stiffness controllable soft...
Introduction: The role of minimally invasive radical cystectomy as opposed to open surgery for bladder cancer is not yet established. We present comparative outcomes of open, laparoscopic and robotic‐assisted radical cystectomy
Material and Methods: Prospective cohort comparison of 158 patients from 2003–2008 undergoing open radical cystectomy (ORC) (n = 52), laparoscopic radical cystectomy (LRC)...
This paper proposes a novel haptic probe for the identification of tissue properties during minimally invasive surgery (MIS). The purpose of such a device is to compensate a surgeon for a portion of the loss of haptic and tactile feedback experienced during robotic-assisted MIS. A prototype for validating the concept in an ex-vivo setting was developed and used to characterize two different testing...
