Abstract

The need for viable global health solutions—and particularly solutions for global surgery—are paramount [2] . In response, a research group at the University of Leeds, U.K., has been working in concert with a multidisciplinary team to develop retractor for abdominal insufflation-less surgery (RAIS), a gasless laparoscopy system that enables crucial surgery in low-resource settings. The group is led by Peter Culmer, professor in health care engineering at the University of Leeds ( Figure 1 ). Recently, their paper, “The RAIS Device for Global Surgery: Using a Participatory Design Approach to Navigate the Translational Pathway,” published in the IEEE Journal of Translational Engineering in Health and Medicine [1] , was selected to receive the 2023 IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Paper Award.

应对手术器械设计和全球应用转化的挑战

目前最需要的是可行的全球健康解决方案，尤其是全球外科手术解决方案[2]。为此，英国利兹大学的一个研究小组与多学科团队合作开发了无充气腹腔镜手术牵开器（RAIS），这是一种无气体腹腔镜系统，可在低资源环境下进行关键手术。该小组由利兹大学医疗保健工程学教授 Peter Culmer 领导（图 1）。最近，他们发表了题为 "用于全球手术的 RAIS 设备 "的论文：该论文发表在《电气和电子工程师学会健康与医学转化工程学杂志》（IEEE Journal of Translational Engineering in Health and Medicine）[1]上，被选为 2023 年度电气和电子工程师学会医学与生物学工程学论文奖。
