Compared to traditional approaches, minimally invasive surgery (MIS) has the benefits of minimizing the number and size of visible skin incisions, thus reducing postoperative pain, and improving the cost-effectiveness of medical instruments. However, there are still significant drawbacks associated with conventional MIS including limited dexterity and poor instrument control. Dexterity, manipulability, as well as stability and motion accuracy of MIS are improved by using interactive robotic surgical platform. Moreover, the platform introduces force feedback which is the prospect in MIS. The development and key technologies of the interactive robotic system for minimally invasive surgery are reviewed in this paper, with prospects and summary.
