Journal ArticleDOI
Force controlled and teleoperated endoscopic grasper for minimally invasive surgery-experimental performance evaluation
TL;DR: The FREG as a tool incorporating the force feedback teleoperation technology may provide the basis for application in telesurgery, clinical endoscopic surgery, surgical training, and research.
Journal ArticleDOI
Force-feedback grasper helps restore sense of touch in minimally invasive surgery.
TL;DR: The ability of a force-feedback-equipped grasper to restore some of the sense of touch that is lost in minimally invasive surgery is demonstrated, which may potentially result in more efficient operations with improved diagnostic capabilities and fewer complications during minimallyvasive surgery.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Surgeon-tool force/torque signatures--evaluation of surgical skills in minimally invasive surgery.
TL;DR: An instrumented laparoscopic grasper was developed measuring the force/torque at the surgeon hand/tool interface and demonstrated substantial differences between experienced and novice surgeon groups, allowing an objective measurement of skill in MIS.

TL;DR: An automated palpation function in which the grasper measures mechanical properties of the grasped tissue by applying a programmed series of squeezes is tested, showing the ability to discriminate between the normal tissues of small bowel, lung, spleen, liver, colon, and stomach.
