Robotic tools are too big for ‘keyhole’ brain surgery – but a new miniature technology using magnets could change all that.

Researchers have developed an innovative sensing system that restores the missing tactile feedback in minimally invasive surgery (MIS), enhancing precision, ease of use, and safety. The new ...

Force Feedback technology allows surgeons to feel the forces applied to tissue during surgery, such as pushing and pulling. These studies - conducted in the pre-clinical setting using tissue models - ...

This miniature device, shown next to a model brain, is known as the twisted string actuated forceps. It can grip and pull tissue, and is controlled entirely by external magnetic fields. (photo by Univ ...

Researchers have developed robotic tools so small they could slip into the brain and perform surgery without ever cracking ...
