Abstract:Increased attention has been focused on laparoscopic surgery because of its minimal invasiveness and improved cosmetic properties. However, the procedure of laparoscopic surgery is considerably difficult for surgeons, thus paving the way for the introduction of robotic technology to reduce the surgeon's burden. Thus, we have developed a single-port surgery assistive robot with a master-slave structure that has two surgical manipulators and a sheath manipulator for the alteration of endoscope direction.
