- Abstract
The device has a small operating room footprint and may offer a solution to precise instrument tip articulation and roticulation [[1]] in a more cost-effective manner than other more complicated robotic platforms [[2]]. After bench and biomedical model training, the HandX system was used in a series of colorectal and general procedures by two operating surgeons. The attached short video (Video S1) shares our initial experience with a handheld, powered laparoendoscopic 5 mm lightweight electromechanical digital device (HandX™, Human Xtensions) that includes both hardware and software components to convert the surgeon's hand movements precisely to the instrument-articulating tip, allowing enhanced degrees of freedom and full articulation.
