This paper describes a mechatronic (mechanical and electronic) realization of the optimal trajectory planning and guidance algorithms for minimally invasive surgical training. Specifically, the realization implements optimal navigation paths for surgical instruments in laparoscopic exercises. The underlying system platform is the Computer-Aided Surgical Trainer (CAST) that consist of mechanical...

MISS has gained popularity due to reduced pain, minimal scarring, shorter recovery times compared traditional open surgery. Endoscopic core many procedures, offers several advantages, such as blood loss, tissue d...

Introduction It is difficult to credit any one person for the development of minimal access surgery (MAS) (also referred to as minimally invansive surgery, or MIS, by some), but diagnostic laparoscopy has been used in various medical specialties since early in the 20th century. Laparoscopy was commonly used by gynecologists throughout the 1960s and 1970s. Semm performed the first laparoscopic a...

Laparoscopy, minimally invasive and minimal access surgery with more surgeons performing these advanced procedures. We highlight in the review several key emerging technologies such as the telementoring and virtual reality simulators, that provide a solid ground for delivering surgical education to rural area and allow young surgeons a safety net and confidence while operating on a newly learne...
