Abstract

Background

Since the advent of Natural Orifice Translumenal Endoscopic Surgery (NOTES) and single incision laparoscopic surgery (SILS), a variety of multitasking platforms have been under development with the objective to allow for bimanual surgical tasks to be performed. These instruments show large differences in construction, enabled degrees of freedom (DOF), and control aspects.

Methods

Through a literature review, the absence of an in-depth analysis and structural comparison of these instruments in the literature is addressed. All the designed and prototyped multitasking platforms are identified and categorized with respect to their actively controlled DOF in their shafts and branches. Additionally, a graphical overview of patents, bench test experiments, and animal and/or human trials performed with each instrument is provided.

Results

The large range of instruments, various actuation strategies, and different direct and indirect control methods implemented in the instruments show that an optimal instrument configuration has not been found yet. Moreover, several questions remain unanswered with respect to which DOF are essential for bimanual tasks and which control methods are best suited for the control of these DOF.

Conclusions

Considering the complexity of the currently prototyped and tested instruments, future NOTES and SILS instrument development will potentially necessitate a reduction of the available DOF to minimize the control complexity, thereby allowing for single surgeon bimanual task execution.

S3-Leitlinie „Diagnostik und Therapie des Karpaltunnelsyndroms“

Karpaltunnelsyndrom BDC Leitlinien Webinare
CME: 2 Punkte

Das Karpaltunnelsyndrom ist die häufigste Kompressionsneuropathie peripherer Nerven. Obwohl die Anamnese mit dem nächtlichen Einschlafen der Hand (Brachialgia parästhetica nocturna) sehr typisch ist, ist eine klinisch-neurologische Untersuchung und Elektroneurografie in manchen Fällen auch eine Neurosonografie erforderlich. Im Anfangsstadium sind konservative Maßnahmen (Handgelenksschiene, Ergotherapie) empfehlenswert. Bei nicht Ansprechen der konservativen Therapie oder Auftreten von neurologischen Ausfällen ist eine Dekompression des N. medianus am Karpaltunnel indiziert.

S2e-Leitlinie „Distale Radiusfraktur“

Radiusfraktur BDC Leitlinien Webinare
CME: 2 Punkte

Das Webinar beschäftigt sich mit Fragen und Antworten zu Diagnostik und Klassifikation sowie Möglichkeiten des Ausschlusses von Zusatzverletzungen. Die Referenten erläutern, welche Frakturen konservativ behandelt werden können und wie. Das Webinar beantwortet die Frage nach aktuellen operativen Therapiekonzepten: Welcher Zugang, welches Osteosynthesematerial? Auf was muss bei der Nachbehandlung der distalen Radiusfraktur geachtet werden?
