“…Technologies to be developed should aim not only to support current surgical procedures better, but also to open up new clinical opportunities. Research on surgical robots should still provide response to various technical requirements, which we highlight below: Reduced size, shape and weight . Reduced access provided by new minimally access techniques imposes hard design constraints on the size, shape and weight of instruments and robotic modules conceived for these procedures.…”

Nowadays robots play an important role in society, mainly due to the significant benefits they provide when utilized for assisting human beings in the execution of dangerous or repetitive tasks. Medicine is one of the fields in which robots are gaining greater use and development, especially those employed in minimally invasive surgery (MIS). However, due to the particular conditions of the human body where robots have to act, the design of these systems is complex, not only from a technical point of view, but also because the clinical needs and the normativity aspects are important considerations that have to be taken into account in order to achieve better performances and more secure systems for patients and surgeons. Thus, this paper explores the clinical needs and the technical requirements that will trace the roadmap for the next scientific and technological advances in the field of robotic surgery, the metrics that should be defined for safe technology development and the standards that are being elaborated for boosting the industry and facilitating systems integration.

“…However, the specific technological challenges imposed by this procedure surpass those already confronted. Figure 6 gathers the main constraints of the currently available flexible endoscopes and the requirements for new and improved instrumentation and surgical tool for NOTES (Swanstrom et al, 2005;Hagen et al, 2008;Cahill, 2010;Meadows and Chamberlain, 2010;Bardou et al, 2010;Dallemagne and Marescaux, 2010;Cho et al, 2011;Chelalli and Cao, 2013;Shah et al, 2009;Soler et al, 2012;Gyoo, 2013;Kaehler et al, 2013;ISO-8373, 2015).…”

Purpose – This paper aims to provide an insight into recent advancements and developments of robotics for Natural Orifice Transluminal Surgery (NOTES) procedures. Design/methodology/approach – Following an introduction that highlights the evolution from Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS) to NOTES in the medical field, this paper reviews the main robotics systems that have been designed and implemented for MIS and NOTES, summarising their advantages and limitations and remarking the technological challenges and the requirements that still should be addressed and fulfilled. Findings – The state-of-the-art presented in this paper shows that the majority of the platforms created for NOTES are laboratory prototypes, and their performances are still far from being optimal. New solutions are required to solve the problems confronted by the proposed systems such as the limited number of DOFs, the limited resolution, the optimal fixation and stiffening of the instruments for enabling stable and precise operation, the effective transmission of forces to the tip tools, the improvement of the force feedback feeling and the proper visualization and spatial orientation of the surgical field. Advances in robotics can contribute significantly to the development and future implementation of the NOTES procedure. Originality/value – This paper highlights the current trends and challenges ahead in robotics applied to NOTES procedure.
