Robotic “hands” for surgery mimic human dexterity and senses
Minimally invasive surgery for some clinical applications is replacing the traditional “open access” approach, and has been associated with patient benefits such as reduced blood loss, fewer infections and faster recovery.
Led by professor Sanja Dogramadzi, Bristol Robotics Laboratory, the pan-EU research team identified a need for better tools in robot-assisted minimally invasive surgery to support the surgeon’s performance.
