Continuum surgical manipulators exhibit promising potential in single-port laparoscopy due to their dexterity and design compactness. However, it is challenging for one continuum surgical manipulator to handle heavy tissues during a procedure. This letter hence proposes a closed-loop pose control fr
To achieve en bloc resection of bladder tumor and the anterior tumor resection in transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURBT), a cystoscope transurethral continuum robotic system has been proposed. A continuum cystoscope in the system needs to bend more than 180° and its base has translation, a
Transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURBT) is the typical procedure for non-muscle invasive bladder tumors. However, current TURBT using rigid surgical tools can hardly handle en bloc resection of bladder tumor and anterior tumor resection. This letter hence proposes a teleoperation-based cyst
