Minimally invasive approaches and surgical procedures in the lumbar spine
Der Orthopäde, 1997The history of minimally invasive lumbar spine surgery began in 1963 with the introduction of chemonucleolysis. Like this technique, the later development of mechanical nucleotomy and lasernucleotomy aimed primarily at reduction of the disc pressure.

Minimally invasive techniques in common surgical procedures: Implications for training
Irish Journal of Medical Science, 2003Laparoscopic 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 ...

Anatomic Variations of Sphenopalatine Artery and Minimally Invasive Surgical Cauterization Procedure
American Journal of Rhinology & Allergy, 2009Background 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, 1999All 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 ...

Minimally Invasive Surgical Procedures for Spine Pain Management
2019Spine surgery has been rapidly evolving to deal with more complex pathology as well as address spine disease in a more elegant manner. Minimally invasive approaches are an example of this evolution. They have undergone many iterations in the last several decades to hone improvements in efficacy and tissue-sparing techniques.

Vibrotactile force feedback system for minimally invasive surgical procedures
2006 IEEE International Conference on Systems, Man and Cybernetics, 2006Lack 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

Minimally Invasive Surgical Site Infection in Procedure-Targeted ACS NSQIP Pancreaticoduodenectomies
Journal of Surgical Research, 2019Pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) incurs a surgical site infection rate of up to 18%. Published rates after minimally invasive PD are comparable or superior to open, but data are limited to high-volume, single-institution series. This study aimed to determine national outcomes. We hypothesized nationwide infections would be reduced with a minimally invasive

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, 1997This 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.
