Abstract: This work presents a soft microfluidic-based force sensor developed for laparoscopic graspers. The sensor incorporates a teeth-like surface pattern that mimics the gripping surfaces of ...

Abstract: In laparoscopic surgery, quality of haptic feedback is reduced compared to conventional surgery, leading to unintentional tissue damage during grasping. From the perspective of haptics, poor ...

One-port, single-incision laparoscopy is part of the natural development of minimally invasive surgery. Refinement and modification of laparoscopic instrumentation has resulted in a substantial ...
