title = "Articulated surgical stapler with improved range of motion for minimally invasive colorectal surgery",
abstract = "In this paper, we present a surgical stapler design with increased mobility at the articulation joint for colorectal minimally invasive surgery. Having broken the main problem down into a few primary sub-problems, we introduce the solution options available for each sub-problem as well as a synthesized model based on the usage of cables to transmit forces to the jaw area of the instrument. CAD modelling and an ongoing prototype work suggest feasibility of this approach.",
