Abstract :
The purpose of this study is to realize the mechanically-controllable needle-insertion system using the CMTD (Curved Multi-Tube Device) which was developed by Furusho Laboratory. A CMTD, was developed for minimally-invasive surgery and needle insertion. And we use ultrasonograph as a sensing device to detect the position of bible duct or tumor and the orientation and position of the needle which is inserted into liver. This system makes safe minimally-invasive surgery possible, because all complex mechanisms are arranged outside of the body.
