A New Surgical Robotic System Model for Neuroendoscopic Surgery

摘要

During endoscopic surgery, the surgeon holds and manipulates the endoscope inside the operating area. Using a robotic handle for these tasks has beneficial points which have been covered by a rich literature. Most of the previous works have involved laparoscopy rather than neuroendoscopy which is fairly new in comparison. In this paper the difference between the two is discussed and the design of a suitable robotic handle for neuroendoscopy is proposed.
