Application of medical robotic techniques in digestive surgery / 中华消化外科杂志

ABSTRACT

With the development of hardware and software in engineering,the medical robotic techniques makes up for the shortage of conventional laparoscopy,and has good prospect in the field of surgery.In this paper,the application of medical robotic techniques in digestive surgery was focused.Extraneous medical robotic system and intrinsic miniature medical robot are 2 main categories.Most digestive operations,such as cholecystectomy,pancreaticoduodenectomy,lobectomy,antireflux surgery could be carried out by the extraneous medical robotic system,and the intrinsic miniature medical robot is still under research.Benefiting from the cooperation of the surgeons and the engineers,it is certain that the medical robotic techniques could play a more important role in digestive surgery.
