Minimally invasive surgery accelerates postoperative recovery, but can only be applied by surgeons having advanced conduct skills. We developed a master-slave manipulator, i.e., robotic forceps for laparoscopic surgery that enhances surgical skill. Robotic forceps consists of a master-slave manipulator, a support component, a controller, an operating conditions display, and a foot switch for changing operating conditions. This paper details specifications and components of robotic forceps and evaluates conductance, such as measurement of the slave hand’s grip and suturing and ligaturing, conducted on a sponge stomach model. A comparison of support function in experiments demonstrates their effectiveness.

Abstract Background The purpose of this study was to investigate the clinical effect of minimally invasive surgery for inguinal cryptorchidism. Methods The patients were divided into the minimally invasive surgery group (n = 100) and the traditional surgery group (n = 58). In the minimally invasive surgery group, patients with low inguinal cryptorchidism (n = 54) underwent surgery with a transscrotal incision, and patients with high inguinal cryptorchidism (n = 46) underwent laparoscopic surgery. Results There was no difference in the hospital stay duration or cost between the minimally invasive surgery group and the traditional surgery group (P > 0.05). As for the operative time, minimally invasive surgery of low inguinal cryptorchidism was shorter than traditional surgery (P = 0.033), while minimally invasive surgery of high inguinal cryptorchidism was comparable to traditional surgery (P = 0.658). Additionally, there were no cases of testicular atrophy, testicular retraction, inguinal hernia or hydrocele in either group. There was no significant difference in the incidence of poor wound healing between the two groups (P > 0.05). Although there was no significant difference in the incidence of scrotal hematoma between the two groups (P > 0.05), the incidence in the minimally invasive surgery group was higher than that in the traditional surgery group. Conclusions Minimally invasive surgery including a transscrotal incision for low inguinal cryptorchidism and laparoscopic surgery for high inguinal cryptorchidism is as safe and effective as traditional surgery, and could also provide a good cosmetic effect for children.

Objective: To study and evaluate the incidence of pain and complications in patients with spinal trauma after minimally invasive treatment. Methods: The research period was selected from January 2018 to December 2020, and 40 patients with spinal trauma were selected. According to the random number table scheme, they were divided into the study group and the control group. The treatment scheme of the control group was traditional surgery, and the treatment scheme of the study group was minimally invasive surgery. The indicators of the two groups were compared and analyzed. Results: Compared with the two groups of surgery and postoperative recovery related indicators, the study group had more advantages (P<0.05); Compared two groups of postoperative NRS score, VAS score and the incidence of complications, the study group had more advantages(P<0.05). Conclusion: Minimally invasive treatment of spinal trauma has significant clinical effect, which can effectively relieve postoperative pain and reduce the incidence of various complications.

Sacral Resection

Resection of large presacral schwannomas can present a challenge. The posterior approach is commonly associated with coccygeal disarticulation, partial sacral resection, and muscular disarticulation, which can all result in significant morbidity. Minimally invasive surgery may obviate some of the morbidity traditionally associated with this approach. The authors present the case of a morbidly obese 49-year-old man with an enlarging presacral schwannoma. The patient refused laparoscopic resection because of the morbidity he had experienced with a previous laparoscopic surgery. The tumor was resected using a minimally invasive paracoccygeal approach, which affords improved access with minimal morbidity.

Minimal Trauma

Esophageal atresia is fundamentally important in pediatric surgery, as its treatment results create an accurate portrait of the standards of surgical care, which is provided by any medical institution. Cameron Haight performed the first successful reconstruction of the esophagus malformation relatively recently just over 70 years ago. Advances in neonatal surgery, technology and advances in neonatal intensive care have dramatically improved treatment outcomes for this disease. Current mortality from this developmental abnormality has become minimal, despite its frequent association with other malformations. A revolutionary approach to the treatment of esophageal atresia was developed by Steven Rothenberg in 1999, the pioneer and legend of pediatric minimally invasive surgery. In 1999, he revolutionized esophageal anastomosis by thoracoscopy. The innovative concept of the minimally invasive approach ensured minimal trauma to patients, thereby providing the possibility of rapid postoperative recovery of patients and reducing the length of their surgical hospital stay. This literature review raises the main controversy in the surgical treatment of esophageal atresia in the 21st century. Emphasis is placed on the study of the role of minimally invasive surgery and the treatment of concomitant abnormalities associated with gastroesophageal reflux and tracheomalacia. As part of the study, a description of all the latest technologies, advances in technical and scientific terms, solutions, exceptional experience, and competence in developing and implementing minimally invasive operations in young children. These developments changed the direction of pediatric surgery and improved the quality of surgical care for children with congenital malformation of the esophagus and how they were performed.

Over the last two decades, minimally invasive surgery (MIS) has become the mainstream method for the treatment of many abdominal diseases previously treated by open surgery. It has resulted in improvements in many outcomes during and after surgery. The Royal College of Surgeons of England has always played an active role in training both consultant surgeons and trainees in minimally invasive surgery with courses such as the Intercollegiate Basic Surgical Skills Courses (BSS) and laparoscopic cholecystectomy courses run in the College itself and in regional units. Laparoscopic surgery itself presents unique challenges that demand that courses be designed specifically with these in mind.
