What are the test results accomplished by three NASA astronauts and one surgeon who were undergoing long-term training in an underwater habitat called the NASA Extreme Environment Mission Operations? Have the telementoring results demonstrated that nonsurgeons having been trained with a specified skill set can perform more complex laparoscopic procedure using in vivo robots? […]

Will surgical robots have the potential advantages of precision and miniaturization as well as articulation? Are the current applications and prototypes that drive around in a patient’s body and act as the eyes and hands of a surgeon able to deliver drugs directly to specific receptors? Will medical devices or robots on a nanometer […]

Endolumenal techniques and minimally invasive devices are finding their way from the lab to the clinic. Some concepts are finding their way from science fiction books to the lab. Access limitations in endoluminal and laparoscopic surgery make medical device inventors think about using small tube like robots instead of endoscopic or laparoscopic instruments in the […]
