Imaging for Minimally Invasive Surgery

The successful outcome of any minimally invasive procedure is highly dependent on the imaging chain, as the medical team has to rely on indirect visualization of the surgical field during the entire procedure. During the last decade, the quality of the images obtainable preand intraoperatively has evolved significantly. In addition to the introduction of intra-operative image acquisition techni...

A novel tactile softness display for minimally invasive surgery

The use of Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS) in various types of surgical procedures has increased significantly in recent years. However, its scope is limited due mainly to the fact that this procedure does not currently provide tactile feedback without which the surgeon can neither feel nor palpate tissue. In this paper, we describe a new tactile display that reproduces these missing constitue...

Anaesthesia for minimally invasive surgery

Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) is rising in popularity. It offers well-known benefits to the patient. However, restricted access to the surgical site and gas insufflation into the body cavities may result in severe complications. From the anaesthetic point of view MIS poses unique challenges associated with creation of pneumoperitoneum, carbon dioxide absorption, specific positioning and moni...
