Abstract

Minimally invasive surgery offers the benefits of reduced patient trauma, faster recovery and shorter hospital stay to the patients, what motivates its development towards further less invasive applications. In this work, we present a concept for adapting our 3D-printed overtube manipulator to single incision laparoscopic surgery. Furthermore, we describe the integration of a surgeon supporting ultrasound imaging into the manipulator system, which can be used to supply augmented reality features. With our concept, we aim to meet the demand for systems that enable enhanced tissue manipulation as well as the request for the supply of additional information for the surgeon regarding the inside of organs and tissue structures in order to improve the surgical outcome.
