Steerable Flexible Laparoscope to Facilitate Camera Guidance During Minimally Invasive Procedures

Abstract: In conventional laparoscopy, the field of view of the surgeon is limited. Angled laparoscopes enable the observation of surrounding structures, however, to change the viewing perspective on a specific object, permanent repositioning and rotation of the shaft is required. In this paper, a demonstrator of a steerable flexible laparoscope is presented, enabling the user to intuitively adjust the perspective onto an object by means of a single control element. The laparoscope provides a viewing angle of ± 50° at 50 mm working distance. In first tests, the presented laparoscope showed advantages regarding intuitiveness of the control, easier handling, and improved depth perception.
