Development of a robotic manipulator of human tubular tissues for suture and support in anastomosis surgery interventions

The aim of the project is to develop a surgical robotic manipulator device focused in the improvement of surgical interventions with anastomosis. These interventions consist basically in doing a cross-cutting of a tubular tissue (usually the intestine) removing a piece of it and uniting again the resulting ends. This is a common procedure in the treatment of cancer of colon, which has big incidence in occidental population.
