pubmed:abstractText |
Medical device technology has an increasingly important role in surgical procedures. In this article, five case studies of bioengineering in surgery are described as follows: computer-aided design of vascular grafts; middle-ear prostheses; hip prosthesis stems for optimal cement pressurisation; prototype development of a device for measurement of abdominal sounds for monitoring digestive tract activity and a hand-access device for laparoscopic surgery. In each case, new bioengineering design methodologies are demonstrated. The general principles underlying the application of bioengineering in surgery are discussed.
