How a Robotic Visualization System Can Facilitate Targeted Muscle Reinnervation

Abstract

Background Innovations in medical technologies have impacted surgery sustainably in the last decades. To enable and further improve microsurgical outcomes, different loupes and optic-based microscopes have been proposed in recent years. In amputation surgery continuous progress and prosthetic developments have provided amputees with an improved degree of function and quality of life.
