Schematic of a surgical robot for Single Port Laparoscopy (SPL)
Single Port Laparoscopy (SPL) might bring better surgical outcomes than traditional multi-port laparoscopy, in terms of postoperative pain, complications, hospitalization time, cosmesis, etc. Due to the increased manipulation difficulty in SPL, several surgical robotic systems were developed, including the IREP robot which was designed by Dr. Kai Xu when he was with the Advanced Robotics & Mechanism Applications Lab, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Columbia University.
