Abstract;In neurosurgery, surgeons have to perform minute and precise manipulations with poor visibility due to blood or cerebrospinal fluid, and it is particularly difficult to operate in the deep surgical field. The authors have developed a microsurgical system for neurosurgery that addresses these difficulties. To ease the manipulation, the authors have developed a method to realize an intuitive motion correspondence between the master and the slave manipulators, and have developed a method to offer the information of spatial limits of the slave manipulator to operators. The results of experiments to verify the effectiveness of the developed system are also reported. (author abst.)
