Popis: Utilization areas of robot manipulators in surgical operations and their effectiveness through scientific studies and technological advancements are increasing rapidly day by day. It is clear that advantages such as enhanced precision, small incision requirements, fast recovery rates and limited post operation problems in cases favors the usage of these robotic systems for various operations in many hospitals. On the other hand, due to their high investment costs and variable expenses of the operations, surgical robots can't become widespread in the world. Mechanically, effectiveness of many surgical robotic systems depends on the macro manipulation that is carried out by the large robot manipulator and the micro manipulation that is carried out by the utilization of specific multi degrees of freedom robotic surgery forceps that are attached to the end effector of the macro system. As these specific forceps are relatively cheap to manufacture, using surgeons in place of bulky macro manipulator can render some surgical operations to benefit from the advantages of robotic surgery forceps for the situations when it is not possible to transfer or supply the complete surgical system. From this point of view this study tries to introduce an alternative solution by proposing a conceptual design of a portable manipulation system for a commercial robotic surgery forceps that can be used as a classical surgery forceps by the surgeon. Thus it is aimed to blend the robotic and classical laparoscopic surgery together.
