Research in the Medical Instrumentation Laboratory aims to develop intelligent tools that improve performance in microsurgery and minimally invasive surgery while at the same time leaving the surgeon in full control of the procedure and benefiting from his expertise and dexterity. The goal is for the surgeon to notice the work he is doing, not the tool he is using. Current projects include active hand-held tools to cancel the surgeon's hand tremor during microsurgery, and novel instrumentation for minimally invasive heart surgery. A microsurgical workstation incorporating active tremor canceling and advanced intraoperative visualization techniques is also under development. |
