New solutions are required to solve the problems confronted by the proposed systems such as the limited number of DOFs, the limited resolution, the optimal fixation and stiffening of the instruments for enabling stable and precise operation, the effective transmission of forces to the tip tools, the improvement of the force feedback feeling and the proper visualization and spatial orientation of the surgical field. Advances in robotics can contribute significantly to the development and future implementation of the NOTES procedure.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title content-type=\"abstract-heading\">Originality\/value<\/jats:title><jats:p>\u2013 This paper highlights the current trends and challenges ahead in robotics applied to NOTES procedure.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1108\/ir-03-2015-0055","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,10,7]],"date-time":"2015-10-07T07:37:54Z","timestamp":1444203474000},"page":"508-532","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":19,"title":["State of the art in robots used in minimally invasive surgeries.
