Abstract:1. Background
The emergence of laparoscopic surgery marked a significant progress in minimally invasive surgical techniques, despite definite shortcomings in terms of vision and exposure control. Telerobotic systems like Da Vinci™ were developed to enhance surgical control but created new limitations such as the separation of the operating surgeon from the operating table, learning curve, cost, and size. A new device, Maestro™, appears promising in addressing these limitations. This present work evaluates the… Show more
