Abstract
VILCHIS-GONZALEZ, A.H. et al. Modular Robots for Minimally Invasive Surgery. Rev. mex. ing. bioméd [online]. 2014, vol.35, n.1, pp.63-79. ISSN 2395-9126.
This article concerns the aspects that have to be taken into account for mechanical design of modular robots to be used as a surgical tool in MIS (Minimally Invasive Surgery) interventions. For this purpose, several works concerning modular, reconfigurable and autoreconfigurable robots are presented. Materials and surgical devices that are used for MIS are taken into account as a reference for modular and reconfigurable robots design considering regulations on medical devices and technology. The information presented in this document is oriented to abdominal ablations in laparoscopic interventions.
Keywords : surgical robot; minimally invasive surgery.
