“…The robotic arms work in a similar way to laparoscopic instruments used in abdominal surgery but are more intuitive, and the EndoWrist® (Intuitive Surgical, Inc.) instruments allow seven degrees of motion, which is ideal for minimally invasive complex surgery in confined areas. For this reason the system has been established in numerous surgical specialties and recently has been developed for the resection of tumors in the oropharynx without the need for mandibulotomy by transoral robotic surgery (TORS) [32][33][34][35][36].…”

The vision for the future with advanced technology and science for easy and better treatments outcome motivating the clinicians to look-forward to practical the cutting edge tactics in the Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery. The results will be providing the patients with first-class medical services with reduction of the treatment morbidity. Greater progress has been made in the field of the Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery. In the last decades, the researchers were concentered on the improvement of the preoperative planning as it plays a vital role in the success rate of the surgical procedures. Now, as a result of the advanced computer technology, the researches extend beyond the scope of planning and moving toward the surgical procedures itself.Evolution over the last decades focused toward improvement of the preoperative planning, minimally invasive approaches, and minimizing the operation time. All aiming to decrease surgical complications and less post-operative pain and rapid return to normal life-style activities. As a result; remarkable recent advances in surgical and computer technology are evolving every day. Innovations in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery have allowed the professions to progress at a very fast rate and looked-for for more every day. The increased accuracy and speed of treatment, along with reduced discomfort, and decreased the complications will be the actual advantages to our patients.The aim of the current review is to give an insight about the cutting edge in the field of oral and maxillofacial surgery to provide a more detailed physical manifestation of your mental picture and a new dimension of insight into the clinical situations you encounter every day.

“…Smart structures are currently being employed in the manufacture of a number of medical devices (Machado and Savi, 2003), including orthopaedic applications such as bone clips and plates; spinal spacers; actively controlled catheters and stents; general surgical tools such as removal baskets, lachrymal probes, suction tubes and epicardial retractors; surgical tools for laparoscopic and endoscopic surgical operations; a variety of cardiovascular devices and implants such as Simon filters and septal occlusion plugs; bionic prosthetic devices; and a host of other biomimetic robotic structures (Cohn et al, 1995;Chonan et al, 1996;Fatikow and Rembold, 1997;Sastry et al, 1997;Vepa, 2009). Actively controlled grasping structures are another area of development that would benefit from emerging and innovative smart structures.…”

“…While the information was useful to the surgeon, it was not "integrated" into the feel of the procedure. To provide both improved dexterity and tactile 766 BENJAMIN EDINGER, MARY FRECKER AND JOHN GARDNER sensing for MIS procedures, hand-like end-effectors have been developed by Cohn et al (1995) and Sastry et al (1997). Although these devices have displayed acceptable dexterity, the force feedback capability is limited by the same problems as standard laproscopic tools since they are cable driven or hydraulically powered.…”

A small piezoelectric inchworm actuator has been designed for use with a monolithic compliant end-effector in minimally invasive surgery procedures. A dynamic model of the inchworm actuator has been developed using SIMULINK. Utilizing the equations of motion for the inchworm actuator, the dynamic characteristics of the piezoelectric stack material, and the known compliance of the gripper, a force measurement model has been developed which extracts resisting force information from the piezoelectric signal. The focus of this paper is on the development of the dynamic model and the results of a simulation study that will be used to develop optimal driving signals for the inchworm actuator. Simulation results include the predicted displacement capabilities and settling time of the inchworm actuator over a range of driving frequencies.
