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

Are Minimally Invasive Procedures Harder to Acquire than Conventional Surgical Procedures?

Gynecologic and Obstetric Investigation, 2010
<i>Background:</i> It is frequently suggested that minimally invasive surgery (MIS) is harder to acquire than conventional surgery. To test this hypothesis, residents’ learning curves of both surgical skills are compared. <i>Methods:</i> Residents had to be assessed using a general global rating scale of the OSATS (Objective ...

Minimally invasive approaches and surgical procedures in the lumbar spine

Der Orthopäde, 1997
The 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: Minimally Reimbursed? An Examination of Six Laparoscopic Surgical Procedures

Surgical Innovation, 2005
It is generally believed that minimally invasive surgery (MIS) results in less postoperative pain, fewer complications, and shorter recovery periods compared with open procedures. Yet despite these benefits, the level of reimbursement assigned to the surgeon by United States health-care payers is often lower than that for open procedures. Furthermore,

The Course of the Angular Artery in the Midface: Implications for Surgical and Minimally Invasive Procedures

Aesthetic Surgery Journal, 2020
Abstract Background Previous anatomic studies have provided valuable information on the 2-dimensional course of the angular segment of the facial artery in the midface and its arterial connections. The third dimension (ie, the depth of the artery) is less well characterized.
