Surgical Instruments for Robotic Microsurgery
نویسندگان
چکیده
• Micro-scale surgery requires a very technically advanced skill set, including high hand-eye coordination and little-tono hand tremor. • To improve microsurgical procedures, such as vein suturing, we have developed tools for the REMS, a cooperativelycontrolled surgical robot that reduces tremor when operating. • Our goal is to design effective needle holders and validate the use of the REMS by comparing the free-hand and robot-assisted results of the procedure.

Robotic assisted andrological surgery.
The introduction of the operative microscope for andrological surgery in the 1970s provided enhanced magnification and accuracy, unparalleled to any previous visual loop or magnification techniques. This technology revolutionized techniques for microsurgery in andrology. Today, we may be on the verge of a second such revolution by the incorporation of robotic assisted platforms for microsurgery...

The increased application of the da Vinci robotic platform (Intuitive Surgical Inc.) for microsurgery has led to the development of new adjunctive surgical instrumentation. In microsurgery, the robotic platform can provide high definition 12×-15× digital magnification, broader range of motion, fine instrument handling with decreased tremor, reduced surgeon fatigue, and improved surgical product...
متن کاملCurrent Limitations of Surgical Robotics in Reconstructive Plastic Microsurgery
Surgical robots have the potential to provide surgeons with increased capabilities, such as removing physiologic tremor, scaling motion and increasing manual dexterity. Several surgical specialties have subsequently integrated robotic surgery into common clinical practice. Plastic and reconstructive microsurgical procedures have not yet benefitted significantly from technical developments obser...
متن کاملRobot-assisted microsurgery for chronic orchialgia
Chronic orchialgia is one of the most common complaints seen in the urologists office and has traditionally been considered a very difficult diagnostic and therapeutic challenge for the clinician. First line management of chronic orchialgia is conservative treatment; however, in men who fail conservative therapy, surgical intervention may be indicated. Microsurgery has been the mainstay for sur...
