Work space analysis of a new instrument for Natural Orifice Transluminal Endoscopic Surgery (NOTES)

Minimally invasive procedures such as Natural Orifice Transluminal Endoscopic Surgery (NOTES) require powerful, small, and flexible instruments. A cable-driven instrument was developed, which is able to retract tissue to create sufficient space for an actual operation (e.g. cholecystectomy). In this...
