Advances in Engineering for Surgery

The advancements in the field of engineering are applied in a wide variety of fields. One such field is surgery, where engineering innovations are used for improving patient outcomes and care. Research in this field is generally carried out within the interdisciplinary field of biomedical engineering. It involves advancements in different domains of healthcare such as diagnosis, monitoring and therapy. Some of the major advancements in this field are laparoscopic surgery and robot-assisted-surgery. Laparoscopic surgery is conducted through one or more small incisions, using small tubes, cameras and surgical instruments. Robotic surgery presents a three dimensional and magnified view to the surgeon, providing increased control and precision. This book elucidates the concepts and innovative models around prospective developments with respect to the application of engineering in the field of surgery. Those in search of information to further their knowledge will be greatly assisted by this book.
