Model-Based Sensitivity Analysis of a Miniaturized Bipolar High-Frequency Forceps for Neurosurgery
Description
Neurosurgery is evolving toward keyhole procedures using tubular retractors. Previous instruments, most of which feature a fork design, are too large and hinder maneuverability and bimanual surgery. This study investigates the feasibility of miniaturized bipolar HF forceps.
