Effect of endoscope flexibility on tissue dissection profile assessed with pulsed water jet device: ensuring safety, efficacy, and handling of thin devices for neuroendoscopic surgery

Abstract Objective We developed an actuator-driven pulsed water jet device (ADPJ) for flexible neuroendoscopy to achieve effective tissue dissection with vasculature preservation. Although flexibility is a strong advantage for minimally invasiveness, the effect of the ductile curvature on the dissec...
