Spatial accuracy of surgical robots

2009 5th International Symposium on Applied Computational Intelligence and Informatics, 2009
Robots have been introduced to the operating room primarily to provide higher accuracy and dexterity. Mechatronic devices can support surgeons with advanced targeting, visualization and task execution with a precision beyond the human skills. To evaluate a system, accuracy tests are required, and proper methodology should be applied to describe its ...

Surgical applications of milli‐robots

Journal of Robotic Systems, 1995
AbstractMinimally invasive surgical techniques, especially endoscopy and laparoscopy, possess many advantages over conventional methods. These include accelerated patient recovery and reduced rate of complications. However, limitations of current operating instruments create difficulties for the surgeon.

Surgical Robotics [TC spotlight]

IEEE Robotics & Automation Magazine, 2009
Surgical robotics is experiencing an explosion of growth in both academic and clinical settings. Since the first reported robotic surgical procedure two decades ago, surgical robotics has grown into more than a half billion dollar a year industry, and robots are now being used in thousands of surgical procedures each year.

Surgical robotics for esophageal cancer

Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 2018
AbstractWe present an update on robotic techniques and their advantages and use in esophageal cancer surgery. Recent work has shown tremendous progress in robotic‐assisted minimally invasive esophagectomy (RAMIE) and lymphadenectomy for esophageal cancer, as well as benefits of robotic surgery in high upper esophageal tumors and T4b disease. We discuss

Equipment and technology in surgical robotics

World Journal of Urology, 2006
Contemporary medical robotic systems used in urologic surgery usually consist of a computer and a mechanical device to carry out the designated task with an image acquisition module. These systems are typically from one of the two categories: offline or online robots.

Building a surgical robotics program

The American Journal of Surgery, 2004
Building a strong institutional robotics program requires commitment from administrative and clinical departments. Here we present issues to be considered when developing such a program, including development of a pathway for introduction of the technology into patient care, team recruitment, creation of an objective-based curriculum, multispecialty ...

Collaborative Robots for Surgical Applications

2017
This works presents the impact that collaborative robotic technologies can offer for surgical applications, with emphasis on the tracking and execution steps. In particular, a new workflow for spine and trauma surgery is presented, in which a miniature mechanical tracker is attached directly to the patients’ bony structure (Patent pending). The tracker
