| Research Abstract |
I developed novel two modules for establishing safer and precise endoscopic fetal surgery. I devised least-incision transformable end-effecter (LITE) mechanism and developed transformable grasper forceps for endoscopic surgery using this LITE mechanism. I also developed surgical navigation system using 3D ultrasound image, with real-time visualization and alarming module of the distance information between surgical instruments and tissues inside uterus.
