Minimally invasive surgery has been one of the most significant evolutions in medicine. In
this approach, the surgeon inserts specially-designed instruments through a small incision …

Methods and systems are described for controlling movement of a continuum robot that
includes a plurality of independently controlled segments along the length of the continuum …

The recent growth of surgical applications exploiting continuum robots demands for new
control paradigms that ensure safety by controlling interaction forces of tele-operated end …

Vitreoretinal surgery requires very fine motor control to perform precise manipulation of the
delicate tissue in the interior of the eye. Besides physiological hand tremor, fatigue, poor …

In recent decades, a number of surgical systems have been developed and are applied for a
growing variety of surgeries. This review will consider the significant challenges of robotic …

Instrument–tissue interaction forces in minimally invasive surgery (MIS) provide valuable
information that can be used to provide haptic perception, monitor tissue trauma, develop …

Retinal microsurgery, which requires surgeons to perform precise operations on delicate
tissue in a tiny eye, is considered one of the most technically demanding operations. Lack of …

This work presents the design and evaluation of a low-cost tri-axial force sensor, that has
been developed to regain the sense of touch in minimally invasive surgeries (MIS). The …

It is a well-known fact that minimally invasive surgery (MIS) has many benefits, eg,
unnecessary trauma and blood loss can be minimized by opening tiny surgery scars …

Background Regional anaesthesia education, especially for ocular procedures, necessitates
reliable surgical training models. While cadaveric models offer anatomical fidelity …
