An overview of recent trends and developments in medical robotics for minimally invasive soft tissue surgery, with a view to highlight some of the issues posed and solutions proposed in the literature.Abstract:
This paper provides an overview of recent trends and developments in medical robotics for minimally invasive soft tissue surgery, with a view to highlight some of the issues posed and solutions proposed in the literature. The paper includes a thorough review of the literature, which focuses on soft tissue surgical robots developed and published in the last five years (between 2004 and 2008) in indexed journals and conference proceedings. Only surgical systems were considered; imaging and diagnostic devices were excluded from the review. The systems included in this paper are classified according to the following surgical specialties: neurosurgery; eye surgery and ear, nose, and throat (ENT); general, thoracic, and cardiac surgery; gastrointestinal and colorectal surgery; and urologic surgery. The systems are also cross-classified according to their engineering design and robotics technology, which is included in tabular form at the end of the paper. The review concludes with an overview of the field, along with some statistical considerations about the size, geographical spread, and impact of medical robotics for soft tissue surgery today.read more

A Novel Layer Jamming Mechanism With Tunable Stiffness Capability for Minimally Invasive Surgery
TL;DR: The layer jamming mechanism exploits the friction present between layers of thin material, which can be controlled by a confining pressure, and is well suited for various minimally invasive surgery applications, where stiffness change is required.

Micron: An Actively Stabilized Handheld Tool for Microsurgery
Robert A. MacLachlan,Brian C. Becker,Jaime Cuevas Tabarés,Gregg Podnar,Louis A. Lobes,Cameron N. Riviere +5 more
TL;DR: By the consideration of the effect of the frequency response of Micron on the human visual feedback loop, this work has developed a filter that reduces unintentional motion, yet preserves the intuitive eye-hand coordination.

Vision-based and marker-less surgical tool detection and tracking: a review of the literature
TL;DR: The study shows that despite significant progress over the years, the lack of established surgical tool data‐sets, and reference format for performance assessment and method ranking is preventing faster improvement.
