Bioengineering Innovations for Surgery (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781639279180)

Surgery is a branch of medicine that uses operative manual and instrumental techniques to investigate or treat a pathological condition such as a disease or injury. There are several surgical procedures commonly categorized by urgency, type of procedure, body system involved, the degree of invasiveness and special instrumentation. Some of the most important advances in surgery include minimally invasive surgeries and robotics, which have been possible due to contributions of both engineers and surgeons. Minimally invasive surgery is a surgical technique characterized by small incisions, quicker healing, lower pain and reduced risk of infection. These surgeries are guided by laparoscopic or arthroscopic devices, large scale display panel, and remote-control manipulation of instruments. Refractive eye surgery, cryosurgery, keyhole surgery and stereotactic surgery are some examples of minimally invasive surgical procedures. This book is compiled in such a manner, that it will provide in-depth knowledge about bioengineering innovations for surgery. It aims to present researches that have transformed this area of medicine and aided in its advancement. This book is a resource guide for experts as well as students.
