Robotic minimally invasive cell transplantation for heart failure

Minimally Invasive Renal Transplantation

During the last 20 years minimally invasive surgery (MIS) has replaced many open, conventional operations and is now important in almost every facet of abdominal surgery (Harrell & Beniford, 2005). Benefits regarding postoperative pain, convalescence, return to normal activities, and cosmetic results have been proven for a wide range of MIS procedures. Within the field of transplantation, lapar...

Motion Tracking for Minimally Invasive Robotic Surgery

Minimally invasive surgery is a modern surgical technique in which the instruments are inserted into the patient through small incisions. An endoscopic camera provides the view to the site of surgery inside the patient. While the patient benefits from strongly reduced tissue traumatisation, the surgeon has to cope with a number of disadvantages. These drawbacks arise from the fact that, in cont...

Robotic-guided minimally-invasive cochleostomy: first results

Due to increasing claims on high precision surgery, robotic assistance is becoming an emerging and highly demanded technology. Especially in surgical procedures in regions with complex anatomy mechatronical devices could help prevent iatrogen damaging of risk structures. In Otolaryngology particular cochlear implantation is a procedure characterized by a high degree of complexity and required a...
