Robotic arthroscopic surgery: a new challenge in arthroscopic surgery Part‐I: Robotic shoulder arthroscopy; a cadaveric feasibility study

Abstract

Robotic shoulder arthroscopy seems feasible in a cadaveric model but has some significant limitations at this time. A clinical application could be performed as diagnostic arthroscopy and as simple arthroscopic surgery until more specific instrumentation is developed. It may also enable the surgeon to perform more complex and precise tasks in restricted spaces.
