Popis: Laparoscopy is a minimally-invasive surgical procedure which involves the patient that is operated upon by making small incision holes into the individual's body instead of the conventional open surgery. To address the ergonomic issues and economical expenses of traditional laparoscopy procedure, a robotic articulating laparoscopic instrument serves as an alternative option due to the ease of its manoeuvrability. To seek the device's efficiency towards its operation, a pig model simulation test was conducted. Swine are considered to be one of the major animal species used in translational research, surgical models, and procedural training.
