Background Laparoscopy generates technical and ergonomics difficulties due to limited
degrees of freedom (DOF) of forceps. To reduce this limitation, a new 5-mm robotized …

Purpose. New laparoscopic devices are being continuously developed to overcome some of
the technical and ergonomic limitations of laparoendoscopic single-site (LESS) surgery. This …

Background Studies have been conducted on slave‐specific master devices with a similar
kinematic structure to the slave to enhance intuitiveness. However, for the four‐degrees of …

As an advanced interaction mode, gestures have been widely used for human–computer
interaction (HCI). This paper proposes a multi-objective optimization method based on the …

The work presented in this paper is focused on movement recognition as a first step to
achieve the automation of a two-arm-surgical-robotic-system in the laparoscopic surgical …

Hand gesture recognition is a promising research area often used in applications of human–
computer interactions in the medical field. In this paper, we present a novel approach to …

The liver is the most common site for metastatic colorectal cancer (CRLM). Despite
advances in oncologic treatment, resection of metastases is still the only curative option …

Hand-held robotic instruments with dextrous end-effectors offer increased accessibility and
gesture precision in minimally invasive laparoscopic surgery. They combine advantages of …

Surgical robotics has usually provided the handle of surgical tools by using teleoperated
systems or the automation of certain surgical tasks. However, the final goal of this field has …

The current era of liver surgery is highlighted by low morbidity and mortality rates, innovative
efforts to increase resectability, and overall improved survival for patients with both primary …
