Surgical robotics is a rapidly evolving field. With roots in academic research surgical
robotic systems are now clinically used across a wide spectrum of surgical procedures. Surgical
Robotics: Systems Applications and Visions provides a comprehensive view of the field both from
the research and clinical perspectives. This volume takes a look at surgical robotics from four
different perspectives addressing vision systems engineering development and clinical
applications of these technologies. The book also: -Discusses specific surgical applications of
robotics that have already been deployed in operating rooms -Covers specific engineering
breakthroughs that have occurred in surgical robotics -Details surgical robotic applications in
specific disciplines of surgery including orthopedics urology cardiac surgery neurosurgery
ophthalmology pediatric surgery and general surgery Surgical Robotics: Systems Applications
and Visions is an ideal volume for researchers and engineers working in biomedical engineering.
