## Abstract ## Background Proper placement of ports during robot‐assisted endoscopic surgery is critical to the success of the procedure. In current practice, port placement methods do not consider the ability of the robot to manoeuvre the tools. ## Methods This paper proposes to choose the best

## Abstract In minimally invasive surgery, a higher degree of accuracy is required by surgeons both for current and for future applications. This could be achieved using either a manipulator or a robot which would undertake selected tasks during surgery. However, a manually‐controlled manipulator c
## Abstract ## Background Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) suffers from the inability to directly palpate organs for tumour localization. A tactile sensing system (TSS), consisting of a probe and a visualization interface, was developed to present an active pressure map of the contact surface to l
## Abstract ## Background Bilateral control enables an operator to be placed away from the working environment. A slave manipulator usually works at a remote site or in a hazardous environment while the master operator senses the environment through the slave manipulator. Bilateral control can be
## Abstract ## Background Computer‐assisted surgery (CAS) systems are currently used in only a few surgical specialties: ear, nose and throat (ENT), neurosurgery and orthopaedics. Almost all of these systems have been developed as dedicated platforms and work on rigid anatomical structures. The de
## Abstract ## Background The purpose of this study was to review the use of robotic‐assisted general surgery at our institution. We evaluated the 8 year experience of one minimally invasive surgery (MIS) fellowship‐trained surgeon in Peoria, IL, performing 240 cases of foregut, colon, solid organ
