Abstract

Abstract Two current major research topics concern the incorporation of flexible robotic endoscopy systems developed for natural-orifice translumenal endoscopic surgery (NOTES), primarily for the purpose of remote forceps operation, into endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) and other flexible endoscopic treatments and the use of robots for the manipulation of flexible endoscopes themselves with the aim of enabling the remote insertion of colonoscopes, etc. However, there are still many challenges that remain to be addressed; the ideal robotic endoscope has not yet been realized. This article reviews the ongoing developments and our own efforts in the area of flexible robotic endoscopy.

柔性机器人内窥镜:当前和原始设备

目前的两个主要研究课题是将用于自然口腔内内镜手术(NOTES)的柔性机器人内镜系统(主要用于远程钳操作)与内镜下粘膜剥离(ESD)和其他柔性内镜治疗相结合，以及利用机器人操纵柔性内窥镜本身以实现远程结肠镜插入等。然而，仍有许多挑战有待解决;理想的机器人内窥镜尚未实现。本文综述了柔性机器人内窥镜领域的最新进展和我们自己的努力。

期刊介绍： omputer Assisted Surgery aims to improve patient care by advancing the utilization of computers during treatment; to evaluate the benefits and risks associated with the integration of advanced digital technologies into surgical practice; to disseminate clinical and basic research relevant to stereotactic surgery, minimal access surgery, endoscopy, and surgical robotics; to encourage interdisciplinary collaboration between engineers and physicians in developing new concepts and applications; to educate clinicians about the principles and techniques of computer assisted surgery and therapeutics; and to serve the international scientific community as a medium for the transfer of new information relating to theory, research, and practice in biomedical imaging and the surgical specialties. The scope of Computer Assisted Surgery encompasses all fields within surgery, as well as biomedical imaging and instrumentation, and digital technology employed as an adjunct to imaging in diagnosis, therapeutics, and surgery. Topics featured include frameless as well as conventional stereotactic procedures, surgery guided by intraoperative ultrasound or magnetic resonance imaging, image guided focused irradiation, robotic surgery, and any therapeutic interventions performed with the use of digital imaging technology.
