Prototype of Instrument for Minimally Invasive Surgery with 6-Axis Force Sensing Capability

Ulrich Seibold, Bernhard Kübler, G. Hirzinger

Open publisher page 235 citations

Abstract

Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) challenges the surgeon’s skills due to his separation from the operation area which can only be reached with long instruments. To overcome these drawbacks, minimally invasive robotic surgery (MIRS) plays an important role. This paper describes the development of actuated and sensorized instruments for minimally invasive robotic surgery which help to increase the surgeon’s immersion and dexterity.
