Why Most of the Intra-Operative Medical Robotic Devices Do Not Use Biomechanical Models? Some Clues to Explain the Bottl
This invited lecture addresses the frontier that biomechanics is now facing with the development of computer-assisted devices that can provide intra-operative assistance of the surgical gesture. The underlying idea is to use patient-specific biomechanical

Preface
A novel partnership between surgeons and machines, made possible by advances in computing and engineering technology, could overcome many of the limitations of traditional surgery. By extending surgeons’ ability to plan and carry out surgical interventions more accurately and with les
