Abstract;We developed new active forceps system for laparosurgery, which will solve many problems in laparosurgery and provide surgeons new field of minimally invasive surgery. In this paper, we will show some new mechanisms of the forceps manipulator. Firstly, we made new mechanism of bending forceps. Using the mechanism, we made new prototype of forceps manipulator which diameter is 5mm. Secondly, we developed new concept of man-machine interface for the system. It will show the new control method and surgeons can operate surgeries with more dexterity and without confusion. We evaluated the system including new interface on typical laparosurgical procedure using simulator, and confirmed the effectiveness of this concepts. (author abst.)
