✦ Synopsis

Medical robotics are increasingly being used in a range of medical applications such as diagnostics, surgery, prosthetics and pharmacy. Written by both medical practitioners and engineers, the book covers a wide range of clinical applications including: laparoscopy, gastrointestinal, neurology, cardiovascular, otorhinolaryngology, vitreoretinal, urology and orthopedics and discusses commercially available and currently being developed surgical robotics. Contributions also explore micro-scale mobile robots for the circulatory system and meso-scale robots for the gastrointestinal tract, alongside MRI-based navigation for in vivo magnetic micro-robots. The concluding chapters discuss ethical issues related to the use of robotics in surgery. needed for medical robotics and discuss current and future applications, such as neural, cardiovascular, orthopedic and ear, nose and throat (ENT) surgery.
