Minimally invasive techniques in common surgical procedures: Implications for training

Irish Journal of Medical Science, 2003
Laparoscopic techniques are increasingly used in common surgical procedures. Many of these procedures are used to teach basic surgical trainees (BST) and therefore introduction of these techniques may have implications for training.To establish whether the introduction of laparoscopic techniques reduced the opportunity of BSTs to perform surgical ...

Evaluation of the ROSA™ Spine robot for minimally invasive surgical procedures

Expert Review of Medical Devices, 2016
The ROSA® robot (Medtech, Montpellier, France) is a new medical device designed to assist the surgeon during minimally invasive spine procedures. The device comprises a patient-side cart (bearing the robotic arm and a workstation) and an optical navigation camera. The ROSA® Spine robot enables accurate pedicle screw placement. Thanks to its robotic arm

Anatomic Variations of Sphenopalatine Artery and Minimally Invasive Surgical Cauterization Procedure

American Journal of Rhinology & Allergy, 2009
Background Sphenopalatine artery (SPA) ligation or cauterization stands to be one of the most common management options of refractory epistaxis. Ramification pattern of SPA as it passes through sphenopalatine foramen (SPF) has not been clearly established.

Complications of Minimally Invasive Cardiac Surgical Procedures

Seminars in Cardiothoracic and Vascular Anesthesia, 1999
All surgical and anesthetic procedures convey some degree of risk. New procedures in cardiac surgery are being developed for which patterns of complications are just beginning to emerge. The experience with minimally invasive direct coronary bypass, transmyocar dial laser revascularization, and Port-Access cardiac surgery is reviewed with emphasis on ...

[Future trend of minimally invasive surgery platform and surgical procedure].

Zhonghua wei chang wai ke za zhi = Chinese journal of gastrointestinal surgery, 2021
In the past 30 years, minimally invasive surgery has been greatly improved with the development of the energy platform, instrument platform, and imaging platform. Taking colorectal cancer surgery as an example, the five elements of surgical procedure have developed to a certain extent.

A technique for measuring contact force distribution in minimally invasive surgical procedures

Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part H: Journal of Engineering in Medicine, 1997
This paper investigates new methods for measuring forces and tactile sense as a contribution towards relaying the sense of touch to the surgeon. The approach used is to determine a distribution of contact force using a small number of sensory outputs to detect the bending of a surface of known behaviour.

Vibrotactile force feedback system for minimally invasive surgical procedures

2006 IEEE International Conference on Systems, Man and Cybernetics, 2006
Lack of adequate force feedback for the surgeon in minimally invasive surgery (MIS) can lead to unnecessary trauma to tissue and adverse events during surgery. The successful use of vibrotactile stimulation to augment overloaded or deficient sensory modes in the human operator in other application areas warrants an investigation into its application in

A new method for digital video documentation in surgical procedures and minimally invasive surgery

Surgical Endoscopy, 2003
Documentation of surgical procedures is limited to the accuracy of description, which depends on the vocabulary and the descriptive prowess of the surgeon. Even analog video recording could not solve the problem of documentation satisfactorily due to the abundance of recorded material.

35. Pediatric Minimally Invasive Surgery: Specific Surgical Procedures [PDF]

, 2012
This chapter describes laparoscopic and thoracoscopic procedures commonly performed in children. For procedures also performed in adults (such as appendectomy or cholecystectomy), it emphasizes the points where the pediatric considerations may differ. It also describes several procedures unique to the pediatric surgical population.
