Designing a robotic system for surgical procedures is always challenging. Reliability, integration in the operating room and intuitive use even in stressful situations are some major requirements. Our project aims at the improvement of two widespread interventions in minimally invasive surgery (MIS): the endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) and the laparoscopic sigmoid resection (LSR). We develop...
One standard procedure in minimally invasive surgery (MIS) is the endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD), where neoplastic mucosal tissue is being removed. To execute an ESD the surgeon needs to be well-trained and experienced to operate the flexible instruments precisely under visual monitoring. One of the main drawbacks is the unintuitive control of standard systems and the limited possibility for...
Endoscopy is gradually replacing open surgery in the gastrointestinal tract. Therefore, novel medical devices and instrumentation are required, such as flexible miniaturized mechanisms for tissue joining and manipulation. In this paper, an absorbable implant for the purpose of long-term tissue fixation is presented. An experimental validation of the implant design and functionality is introduced....
