Sheath-shaped surgical robot system for assisting surgical workspace creation in WaFLES Kazuya KAWAMURA Minimally invasive surgical techniques are continually being developed to reduce the invasiveness of various surgical procedures, patients’ postoperative pain, complications and hospitalization time. Water Filled Laparo-endoscopic Surgery (WaFLES) is a new surgical technique which is performed with liquid in the abdominal cavity. For realizing both a stable creation of surgical workspace and management of the floating organs, we proposed sheath-shaped robotic manipulator to create a surgical workspace like a retracting tool. As one of on-going task, we develop the sensing system to manage the floating internal organs for supporting the surgical workspace creation safety.
