Enhancing the Localization of Uterine Leiomyomas Through Cutaneous Softness Rendering for Robot-Assisted Surgical Palpation Applications.

Integrating tactile feedback for lump localization in Robot-assisted Minimally Invasive Surgery (RMIS) represents an open research issue, which is still far to be solved. Main reasons for this are related e.g.

Wearable haptic interfaces for applications in gynecologic robotic surgery: a proof of concept in robotic myomectomy.

Uterine fibromatosis is common in women, with an estimated prevalence of up to 15-50% after 35 years. About 80% of women affected by fibromatosis have symptoms and require medical or surgical treatment. Nowadays, the gold standard for the surgical treatment of uterine fibromatosis is the use of minimally invasive surgery.
