The new robotic tool has been developed by the Department of Mechanical and Materials Engineering, University of Nebraska Lincoln and Center for Advanced Surgical Technology (CAST) at University of Nebraska Medical Center.
The new electro-hydraulic manipulator has four parts within its body. And each part can be pulled out and used on its own. Different manipulators can be fixed to the end of a flexible snake that would take the instruments to the required body part through a natural opening or an incision.
Robotic Surgery for Heart's Tricuspid Valve Reconstruction Holds Promise
Infective endocarditis - a potentially fatal bacterial disease of the heart - frequently affects the heart's tricuspid valve, often resulting in permanent tissue damage.
