Research Objectives
IntroductionMinimally invasive video-assisted surgery is a revolutionary approach in different surgical specialties. This kind of surgery is performed inserting surgical instruments and optical devices, inside the patient, through small incisions to obtain the same results that can be obtained from the wide incisions of the open surgery techniques.The use of minimally invasive video-assisted surgery gives as a result the minimization of the surgical trauma and damage of the healthy tissues leading to a shorter ospedalization and shorter recovery time. The disadvantages of the technique are: the need of a major manual skill, the discomfort for the position of the operator and the reduced sensory input to the surgeon which is only available through a single video image. The application of minimally invasive robotic devices can avoide some of these disadvantages allowing wider fields of application and better results. Robotics becomes part of this surgical discipline as an integration between mechanics, electronics, computer science, sensorystic and controlistic, useful for the development of the motion control of the robotic devices , for the manipulation of the optical devices and for the positioning of the devices. Robotic science offers an aid to surgery through the precision, repeatibility and documentability of the procedures. A second aspect regards (by the new communication technologies such as cable, satellite or even modem) the possibility of controlling the robotic>>>
