| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Laparoscopic surgery limits a surgeon's tactile sense. This study was aimed at developing a palpation system for detecting an early stage tumor on the internal wall of the stomach (detecting a lump from the outside wall) in laparoscopic surgery. Tactile sensor and tactile display integrated system was assembled for utilizing operator's haptic bidrectionality between tactile sensation and exploratory movement. We developed a forceps-type tactile sensor using acoustic reflection. The sensor is very simple, has electrical safety, and can be sterilized and disposable. Then, we developed a tactile display that presents normal force to instep, where is in the unclean area of surgeons. Experiments using a phantom of the stomach with an early stage tumor showed availability of the developed palpation system.
