Novare公司推出提升腹腔镜操作灵敏性的设备

 
 
一系列关节连接的用于腹腔镜操作的手术工具，能够确保操作的灵活性以及腹腔内的接触反馈，而无需机器手术系统的开支和安装时间。

Novare手术系统(Cupertino, CA, USA)宣布该公司正在重点推出Endolink关节连接手术设备，可以用于完全腹腔镜子宫切除手术(TLH)，这是一种用于微创手术切除子宫颈和子宫的高级技术。这种设备已经获得了美国食品药品管理局的许可。

TLH最大好处是切除子宫，而不需大型腹部切口、大量出血以及长达数周的恢复时间。该手术只需1.5厘米的腹部切口即可完成。

这种操作简便、手动控制的手术设备，第一次为外科医生提供6个方向的自由度，而无需计算机辅助或者机器人来操作。传统腹腔镜设备较为坚硬，只能为操作者提供有限的自由度。

Increased Dexterity in Laparoscopy
 
A new line of articulating surgical tools for laparoscopy allows full mobility and tactile feedback inside the abdominal cavity without the cost and set-up time of robotic surgical systems.

Novare Surgical Systems (Cupertino, CA, USA) announced it is targeting its newly introduced line of Endolink articulating surgical instruments for total laparoscopic hysterectomy (TLH), an advanced approach for removing the cervix and uterus employing minimally invasive keyhole surgery. The instruments have been cleared by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

The key advantage of TLH is to permit the removal of the uterus and offer a view of the pelvic organs without the need for a large abdominal incision, significant blood loss, and weeks of recovery time. The surgery is completed utilizing only four tiny abdominal incisions less than 1.5 cm in length.

The single-use, hand-held surgical instruments are the first to provide surgeons with six degrees of freedom, without the need for computer-aided instruments or robotics. Traditional laparoscopic instruments are more rigid and provide the operator with only four degrees of freedom.
