Abstract

Computer aided surgery (CAS) is a new surgical field to realize minimally invasive surgical therapy, using various computer technologies: three dimensional medical images, surgical robots and so on. Three dimensional medical images are the new eyes of a surgeon, and surgical robots are the new hands. In order to realize minimally invasive therapy, it is necessary to develop new surgical devices (needles for percutaneous puncture, manipulators, fine endoscopes and so on) using micro machine technology. The main applications of the CAS system are liver cancer treatment therapy, laparoscopic surgery, endoscopic surgery, the stereotaxic neurosurgery, and corneal microsurgery
