PVDF to Detect and Autonomously Prevent Slip During Retraction in Laparoscopic Surgery
Objective During laparoscopic surgery tissue retraction is necessary for exposure of the operating field. Currently this is performed manually by grasping the tissue in laparoscopic forceps but could be performed automatically with an appropriate device. This would need to automatically detect when tissue is slipping from its grasp and react appropriately. Method Polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), a piezoelectric… Continue Reading

Real-time 2d-3d Image Converting Software With a Monocular Small Camera Toward the Lesser Invasive Laparoscopic Surgery
<Introduction and Objectives> 3D images for laparoscopic surgery had been rapidly accepted as useful tool especially in suturing maneuvering. Since recent trials such as single port surgery or NOTES require smaller devices, thinner camera will be effective to retain space inside the port. To provide depth cue using smaller endoscope, combination of small monocular endoscope… Continue Reading
