Gastroschisis, a congenital abdominal wall defect located to the right of the intact umbilical cord (UC), results in the herniation of fetal abdominal organs into the amniotic cavity without a protective membrane covering these structures. Complex gastroschisis (CG), comprising approximately 10% of cases, is associated with significantly higher...

Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) has several advantages over conventional surgery, including reduced damage to the body, less pain, lower infection risk, and faster recovery. However, MIS reduces the amount of space in which clinicians can operate within the body. This often forces them to work around delicate anatomical structures. A new type...

The upcoming Shaft Actuated Tip Articulated Low Resource Settings (SATA-LRS) platform is in need of a novel design of a strong, foldable beak able to close in parallel. Steerable instruments for minimally invasive surgery (MIS) are used more often but still have some limitations. The end-effectors used are v-shaped, causing...

Minimally invasive surgery has some major benefits over traditional open surgery for the patient, but makes surgery more complex for the surgeon. Articulating instruments can regain some of the manoeuvrability that is lost by using a small incision. However, in endoscopic neurosurgery such articulating devices do currently not exist, due to...

Purpose<br/>As a result of the worldwide aging population, Vertebral Compression Fractures (VCF) are commonly detected in osteoporotic patients; these can originate from traumatic events or occur spontaneously. The existing VCF devices and their corresponding surgical instruments have their limitations in terms of short- and long-term...

Philips is the global leader in Image-Guided Therapy (IGT). This medical specialization provides integrated solutions that allow for minimally invasive medical procedures. A specialized medical team consisting of multiple stakeholders works closely with Philips's newest technological devices and systems during these interventions. These complex...

Gripping slippery, compliant, and irregular tissues during MIS is often challenging using a conventional gripper. A force grip has to compensate for the low friction coefficient between the gripper’s jaws and tissue surface. This study focuses on the development of a suction gripper as an alternative for the well-known tissue gripper. Suction...

In the history of medicine and surgery, a slow transition is made from open surgery to minimally invasive surgery. Nowadays, natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (NOTES) is investigated and tested. A NOTES procedure includes flexible instruments, which are inserted through natural orifices such as the mouth, nose, anus or vagina. The...

Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS) has made tremendous impact on hospitals worldwide. Introduced as a patient friendly alternative to open surgery by significantly reducing incisions size, benefits such as faster patient recovery time, and less pain for patients, are achieved. However, in MIS, rigid instrument shafts can impair surgeons’ dexterity...

Sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) is a procedure that is used to determine the stage of disease of melanoma patients and determine further treatment. However, the morbidities accompanied with this procedure are not negligible (e.g., wound infection, lymphoedema and seroma). With the goal reduce the incidence of morbidities, this thesis...

A new radical design approach arose from the need to develop a bipolar electrosurgical instrument that is modular and cleanable, thus reusable and therefore suitable for low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Advanced Bipolar Vessel Sealer (BVS) instruments that are currently on the market cannot be cleaned or maintained well and are...

Objective: To develop a steerable neuroendoscopic instrument (SNI) based on user requirements found by several means of user research, and to evaluate this instrument on usability and safety. Only 5% of the potential intraventricular neuroendoscopy (INE) cases are currently treated with endoscopy. For the other 95%, an endoscopic approach is...

The shift from open surgery with one large incision to less invasive techniques with multiple small incisions brings benefits such as less trauma, less scar formation and a faster recovery for the patient. However, in minimally invasive surgery (MIS), surgeons struggle with basic tasks such as applying sutures and tying nots. Clip appliers have...

The quality of rigid endoscopes deteriorates during clinical use due to the sterilization process, mechanical forces and wear and tear during regular use. Regulations and standards on ensuring the quality of these instruments are currently non-existent or contain only qualitative measures, resulting in subjective examinations . Defective rigid...

The DragonFlex, world’s first 3D-printed steerable Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS) instrument, showing promising results for the medical field, is made by means of 3D-printing, and features simple assembly, while exhibiting high bending stiffness. In this research, the possibilities with additive manufacturing are explored even further, by...

Sensory nerve roots (DRGs) that emerge from the spinal cord can be stimulated with electrodes to prevent neuropathic pain. Proper functionality of DRG stimulation strongly depends on electrode placement, and conventional pre-curved introduction shafts limit DRG coverage of the implanted electrode lead. The goal of this thesis is to design an...

Currently, orthopaedic surgeons in theAMC (AcademicMedical Centre) in Amsterdam, use an oscillating saw when a bone needs to be sectioned. During these surgeries, which are performed with open surgery, clamps are placed around the bone to protect the surrounding soft tissue from accidental jumping<br/>of the saw blade. These clamps however do...
