Intraocular surgery, one of the most challenging discipline of microsurgery, requires sensory
and motor skills at the limits of human physiological capabilities combined with …

This article presents the development and experimental evaluation of a redundant robotic
system for the less-invasive treatment of osteolysis (bone degradation) behind the …

Notable challenges during retinal surgery lend themselves to robotic assistance, which has
proven beneficial in providing safe steady-hand manipulation. Efficient assistance from the …

The integration of robotics into retinal microsurgery leads to a reduction in surgeon

A surgeon's physiological hand tremor can significantly impact the outcome of delicate and
precise retinal surgery, such as retinal vein cannulation (RVC) and epiretinal membrane …

Retinal surgery is a bimanual operation in which surgeons operate with an instrument in
their dominant hand (more capable hand) and simultaneously hold a light pipe (illuminating …

In recent decades, a number of surgical systems have been developed and are applied for a
growing variety of surgeries. This review will consider the significant challenges of robotic …

Vitreoretinal surgery is among the most delicate surgical tasks during which surgeon hand
tremor may severely attenuate surgeon performance. Robotic assistance has been …

Fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensors play a decisive role in clinical decisions, where their
