Soft Robots in Surgery

open access: yes, 2016
Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS) represents the gold standard in the majority of abdominal operations, although some fundamental limitations are still present and are far to be really addressed despite emerging robotic solutions. Flexible endoscopes can exploit their high flexibility to reach the surgical target while being inserted remotely or by a ...
