Abstract

Endoscopy, a we know it today, is far from perfect. In an attempt to make the interventions as little invasive as possible, the ergonomics of the procedure, for the surgeon, are often not dealt with at all. In an attempt to improve the surgeon patient interface during endoscopic procedures, a new concept is presented to allow the surgeon a much more natural visual interaction with the inside of the patient. It is made possible for the sugeon to look around into the cavity, with a stereo endoscope, mounted on a robot arm. This robot arm is directed by the motion of the head of the surgeon.
