Abstract

In Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS) the operation is performed through introducing surgery instruments, graspers, scissor into the body. In the present work, a novel smart grasper is presented in which the surgeon can virtually acquire a feeling of force/momentum experienced by the organ/tissue. The smart grasper uses piezoelectric sensors bonded at desired locations to detect the applied force/momentum by surgeon and to measure the transmitted response to the tissue/organ.
